Designing an Airport Terminal

Every airport has an airport terminal to allow a smooth transition of luggage and people. It is a platform where facilities are provided so as to help the passengers to board and leave the aircraft. When a person has to purchase tickets or just go through the security, he or she has to operate within the airport terminal.

Airport Terminals

The Number of Airport Terminals:

While larger airports can afford to build multiple terminals, smaller airports can afford just one. A typical terminal will serve all the functions that an airport has to offer together. Larger terminals have a scope to be connected to various concourses such as walkways, tunnels, sky bridges, etc. Hence the number of terminals in an airport depends upon the size and structure of airport itself.

Style of Airport Terminals:

Though many airports decide to keep their terminals simple, it is often observed that few airports decide to think outside of the box. This decision gains them the attention of passengers. In 1960’s concrete boxes were in a trend where terminals consisted of the box that surrounds them. Moving to the 1990’s the advancement in designing gave way to glass boxes in the 1990s. However, the best design to adopt in a terminal is ensuring that the terminal has a proper light and air infrastructure.

Some of the terminals are applauded for their architectural marvel. This list includes Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Few of them have adopted monumental design such as that of Baghdad International Airport.

Use of Satellite Terminals:

When an airport has a terminal that is detached from the main building of the airport, the design is said to be of satellite type. Here, a terminal acts as a satellite to the periphery of the airport. London Gatwick Airport is one of the prominent airports to adopt this design.

Use of Pier Design in Terminal:

Many large international airports decide to structure their terminal in the style of pier design. Here, a narrower small building is used and aircraft is parked on both the sides of this narrow building. One side of the terminal has a counter for tickets and luggage, while the other side has a check-in counter. One of the prominent examples in this category is of Kansai International Airport.

Semi-Circular Terminals:

If there is a need to adopt a blend of parking space for both the vehicles of the passenger as well as the aircraft, an airport might decide to design their terminal in a semi-circular way. This design includes a long walkway in a vertical strip for passengers to move. This is ideal for those airports which attract entrepreneurs. Their busy schedule might invite shortage of time even for catching a flight. Semicircular terminals offer the advantage of reducing the travel time or walking time between that of check-ins and boarding a flight. Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in India is a prominent example for the aircraft of this type.
