In order to provide safe, efficient, and
comfortable transfer of passengers and their baggage to and from aircraft and
various modes of ground transportation, Airport Terminal Building play a key role in addressing and accomplishing all
aircraft operations successfully. The main motive of Airport terminal building is to provide facilities
and services to many organizations, which are involved in air transportation. In
recent years, the competition in the airline industry has made air‐travel
accessible to a significant portion of the world’s population. This growth in
passenger traffic, and the projected growth over the next two decades, has
created a need to develop new approaches to terminal design.
Main Characteristics
of Airport Terminal Buildings:
Characteristics
of an Airport Architecture vary from
airport to airport, which not only influences the planning, size and design of
passenger terminal facilities in different ways but also exhibits important
role in enhancing building efficiency. Followings are the main characteristics
of a well-engineered airport terminal building:
·
Technology: The latest technology
makes it very easier to access the certain facilities like proper space
utilization, online ticketing and boarding interfaces at Airport Terminal Building. This will not
only ease passenger journey, but also keep the airport terminal building free
from rush or queues.
·
Smart Terminal Design: Some
Airport Terminals have right amount of floor space, but even then they need
expansion since the space is improperly allocated. By smart terminal designing,
a balancing of internal floor space can provide a big relief at a cost inferior
to its expansion.
· Smart Operational Procedure: An
airport terminal building exhibiting smart operational procedure plays crucial
role in developing an efficient workflow. Placement for Ticketing, boarding,
security check and many other operations should be arranged in a streamlined
way to enhance operational efficiency.
- Time Sensitivity: Time sensitivity of an airport terminal building inversely depends upon the time taken for accomplishment of each operation activity associated with it. The time sensitivity of an airport terminal building should be high for the larger footprints of passengers.
- Efficiency: To maximize the returns on the passengers footprint invested, the efficiency of airport terminal building should be higher in terms of operations, energy, building structure and more.
- Proficiency: In case of Airports, the principle of proficiency states that the future design of terminal building should be not only optimized for efficient overall processing but also adaptable to any future changes in it.
