Examine some of the fundamental aspects of passenger movement through airports. The paper illustrates basic passenger needs that every airport planner must know.
There are many considerations to be made when planning large passenger movements through an airport. More passengers are saturating airports, and each passenger has an individual need or requirement. It is therefore the difficult responsibility of the airport to be able to accommodate the many passengers to make sure their departure, arrival, and connections go as smoothly as possible. Methods to ease the passenger transfer experience span from the very beginnings of airport construction and continue to evolve with facility expansions and technology improvements. The location and function of different facilities combined with several ground access aids serve as the foundation of managing passenger traffic quickly and effectively.
