PASSENGER TERMINAL

BUILDING

CONCOURSE
The buildings that provide access to the airplanes (via gates) are
typically called concourses
Smaller airports have one terminal while larger airports have
several terminals and/or concourses. At small airports, the single
terminal building typically serves all of the functions of a terminal
and a concourse.
Some larger airports have one terminal that is connected to
multiple concourses via walkways, sky-bridges, or underground
tunnels (such as Denver International Airport). Some larger
airports have more than one terminal, each with one or more
concourses (such as New York's JFK Airport). Still other larger
airports have multiple terminals each of which incorporate the
functions of a concourse (such as Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport).

Goals in the design of airport

terminals:

Walking distances (keep them short)

Pleasing environment (helps the traveler)
Services (well located and available)
Security (minimize threat potential)
Cost effective (typically includes
concessions)
Aesthetics (good waiting environment)
Sometimes these goals contradict each
other (i.e. like the cost effectiveness vs
aesthetic)

(Old Research)

Boarding Gates and Air bridges

Dubai International Airport (Terminal 3), became the largest single

Terminal building in the world with an area of over (1,713,000 m) . It
can handle in excess of 60 million passengers per year . (New
research)

The Beijing New Airport Terminal Building will be constructed in Beijing's

Daxing District , and will be completed by the year 2019 and take the form of a
starfish. (Worlds largest terminal building)

Aircraft Parking

Aircraft parking positions at various angles with

respect to the terminal building.
Nose in-parking , Nose-out parking
Angled nose-in parking
Angled nose-out parking
Parallel parking
Remote parking
The nose-in parking position is the most
common and frequently used at major airports.
