Terminal

Professor: Ms. Rosenda Q. Singson

 Airport Terminal
 An airport terminal is a building at an airport where
passengers transfer between ground transportation and
the facilities that allow them to board and disembark
from an aircraft.
 Within the terminal, passengers purchase tickets, transfer
their luggage, and go through security.
 The buildings that provide access to the airplanes
(via gates) are typically called concourses.
 However, the terms "terminal" and "concourse" are
sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the
configuration of the airport.
 Satellite Terminal
 A satellite terminal is a building detached from
other airport buildings, so that aircraft can park
around its entire circumference. The first airport
to use a satellite terminal was London Gatwick
Airport. It used an underground pedestrian
tunnel to connect the satellite to the main
terminal.

and 1 (orange roof) in the upper right

Airport Terminal 3, Indonesia
 Shanghai Pudong International Airport Satellite
Concourse S1 one of the largest satellite terminals
in the world.
 Terminal
 The terminal has a series of gates, which provide passengers with
access to the plane.
 The following facilities are essential for departing passengers:
 Check-in facilities, including a baggage drop-off
 Security clearance gates
 Passport control (for some international flights)
 Gates
 Waiting areas
 The following facilities are essential for arriving passengers:
 Passport control (international arrivals only)
 Baggage reclaim facilities, often in the form of a carousel
 Customs (international arrivals only)
 A landside meeting place
 Airport Customs / Immigration
 Airports with international flights have customs and immigration facilities.
 “Customs” is a government agency or authority that regulates the flow of goods
into and out of a country. Most importantly, the customs deals with the
collection of duties levied on imported goods.
 “Immigration” is about the people traveling from one country to another. It's
sometimes called “passport control” or “border control” depending on
the airport..
 Baggage Handling System
 Baggage handling system - to transport baggage from the baggage drop-
off to departing planes, and from arriving planes to the baggage reclaim.
 The area where the aircraft park to load passengers and baggage is
known as an apron or ramp (or incorrectly, "the tarmac").
 Airport Security
 Airport security normally requires baggage checks, metal
screenings of individual persons, and rules against any object that
could be used as a weapon.
 Since the September 11 attacks and the Real ID Act of 2005,
airport security has dramatically increased and got tighter and
stricter than ever before.
 Terminal / Concourse
 Some larger airports have one terminal that is connected to multiple concourses via walkways,
sky-bridges, or tunnels.
 An airport terminal is a building at an airport. It is where passengers are able to get on and off
aircraft. The buildings that provide access to the airplanes through gates are usually
called concourses.
 However, the words "terminal" and "concourse" are sometimes used to mean the same thing.

 Walkway

 Boarding Tunnel / Boarding Bridge /
Jet Bridge
 A jet bridge is an enclosed, movable connector which is connected to a
gate in the terminal.
 Once airplane boarding starts, passenger hand their boarding passes to
the gate’s attendant who will let you pass through.
 The bridge looks like a narrow, lighted hallway without doors. Glass
bridges are becoming more common now.
 Gates
 Gates are the exits from/entrances to the aircrafts.
 Walkway
 A moving walkway, also
known as an autowalk,
moving pavement, moving
sidewalk, people-mover,
travolator, or travellator - is
a slow-moving conveyor
mechanism that transports
people across a horizontal or
inclined plane over a short
to medium distance.
 Moving walkways can be
used by standing or walking
on them. They are often
installed in pairs, one for
each direction.
Boarding Procedures
for
International Flights
 Step 1: Checking in for your Flight
 Passengers scheduled on
international flights can
either check in online
(between 24 hours and 75
minutes ahead of departure)
or check in at the airport—at
the counter
 On the day of your flight,
please bring:
 travel documents (passport)
 E-ticket
 Check-in and other
boarding procedures must
be completed at least one
hour before your flight’s
departure time.
 Step 2: Checking Baggage
 Customers checking in baggage
should proceed to the check-in
counter.
 The free checked baggage allowance
depends on your travel class and
route. Check baggage allowance.
 Excess baggage fees will apply when
checking in most baggage that
exceeds the free baggage allowance.
 Large items of baggage and
dangerous goods, including sharp
items such as scissors or nail clippers,
cannot be taken on board. These
items must be checked in.
 Step 3: Security Checkpoint
 After checking in and obtaining a boarding pass, you
should make their way to a security checkpoint. All
passengers must go through security before proceeding
to their boarding gate.
 Step 4: Immigration
 Present both passport and boarding pass
for Immigration inspection. Depending
on the country, you may need to fill out
an immigration card. Make sure
passport has not expired.
 Passport is the main identification while
traveling abroad. Record passport
number and date of issuance and store
the information in a safe place away
from your passport.
 Passengers with tickets or cards granting
lounge access can relax in an eligible
lounge before departure.
 Step 5: At the Boarding Gate
 Be at the boarding gate at least 30 minutes before the departure time.
 The departure time refers to the time by which all passengers have
boarded and the plane leaves the gate.
 You may be unable to board your flight if you do not come to the
boarding gate at least 30 minutes prior to departure.
 Please have your boarding pass and passport available to show airport
staff as the gate.
Ten Most Beautiful Airport Terminal
 Jeddah Hajj Terminal,
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
 One of the world's most radical airport terminals. The Jeddah Hajj Terminal is
unique: it's only active during the "hajj," a religiously mandated pilgrimage to
Mecca for Muslims. During that six-week period, it's one of the busiest airport
terminals in the world.
 The Hajj Terminal received the American Institute of Architects' 25-year award as
a design that's stood the test of time:. It is made of 210 open-air, white fiberglass tents
which create a "chimney effect" that can cool the hot desert air by 50 degrees without
expensive, hard-to-maintain air conditioning, according to a profile in
the Architectural Record.
 The tents can contain 80,000 people, with flexible spaces devoted to very
unusual activities for an airport terminal, such as changing clothes and ritual
foot-washing.
 The terminal is "chaotic and basic." as one Skytrax reviewer says. But no other
airline terminal has its unique challenges: being literally the gateway to heaven
for tens of thousands of people a day, many of whom are making this a once-in-
a-lifetime trip.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
 Leif Eriksson Air Terminal,
Keflavik, Iceland
 Iceland's cozy little international airport looks like it
arrived in a flat pack from IKEA.
 It's all blond wood and volcanic-looking stone with
big windows looking out on the dramatic Icelandic
landscape.
 The best buildings capture a bit of the soul of a
place, and the Keflavik terminal does that perfectly:
it's cozy (maybe a little too cozy in some of the gate
areas), made of local materials, relatively spare and
utterly embedded in the landscape. As a greeting to
Iceland, it is perfect.

Keflavik, Iceland
 Seoul Incheon Airport,
Incheon, South Korea
 Seoul Incheon Airport - regularly gets awards for how well-
organized, efficient and relaxing it is on the inside. I've been
there several times, and Seoul's secret is to make sure that
you're never more than a few steps away from an
entertaining, enlightening, or amusing bit of Korean culture.
 Scattered throughout the terminal, you will find hands-on
Korean craft workshops, a dress-up area where you can take
photos in traditional clothing, the best free Internet cafe, a
museum, and plenty of places to take a comfortable nap.
 In the basement, you will find, plants and flowers keep up
the impression that you are in a showplace for Korea's
melding of history, art and technology, and not just a mere
airport terminal.

Incheon, South Korea
 Wellington Airport “Rock” Terminal,
Wellington, New Zealand
 Many people have called this the world's ugliest airport
terminal.
 But there's a reason the new international terminal in
Wellington has won enough awards to fill a jumbo jet.
Like the Keflavik terminal, it's an intelligent response to
New Zealand's identity and landscape and not just
another swooping glass box evoking "flight."
 The Rock is a pair of egg-shaped buildings covered in
copper plating that is designed to turn blue-green in the
sea air. Inside there are curving corners and geometric
panels.
 The Rock looks rugged, unique, and as it’s architect said,
"theatrical" -- all parts of the Kiwi identity

Wellington, New Zealand
 JFK Terminal,
New York, NY
 One of the greatest icons of the mid-20th Century Jet Age,
Eero Saarinen's TWA terminal has been intelligently
swallowed by the grasping tendrils of JetBlue's modern new
terminal, which has by far the best airport food court in New
York. So you get the best of both worlds: an AirTrain ride up
to the home of "Catch Me If You Can" glamour followed by a
smooth walk through a spacious, modern terminal.
There's still one missing piece, of course: you can't actually
walk into the Saarinen terminal's main hall, as the epically
incompetent New York Port Authority has dragged its feet
for years on finding a tenant for the space. According to
Curbed.com, the authority has been trying to interest
boutique hoteliers (the lack of a good airport hotel is another
one of JFK's many flaws), but the idea isn't even at the
planning stage yet.

 Singapore Changi International
Airport Terminal 3, Singapore

 Singapore Changi International Airport Terminal 3This

is the airport as amusement park. Singapore's three
terminals are widely considered to be the most fun you
can have in an airport, and each one has its attractions.
Terminal 3 gets the nod, though, as it's the newest,
with "an automatic light modulation system" to give the
whole place a soothing, even, slightly unearthly glow.
Terminal 3 is home to Changi's butterfly garden, an 18-
foot waterfall, a huge indoor playground, a movie
theater, TV lounges and the "Slide@T3," a four-story
spiral slide that's a lot more fun than taking the elevator.
The other terminals join in the theme of combining
indoor and outdoor spaces, with more gardens and even
an outdoor swimming pool available to the public.

 Marrakech Menara Airport Terminal 1,
Marrakech, Morocco

 This one is a good example of culturally aware terminal

design.
 The new Terminal 1 at Marrakech's airport looks like a
Moroccan palace twenty-first-century style, with classic
Islamic geometric and nature motifs inscribed into a giant
network of concrete diamonds. It is one giant artwork.
 At night, colored lights dance along the front face of the
building, illuminating the desert plantings along the arrivals
roadway. A lounge inside evokes 19th-century Moroccan
luxury, with rugs, chandeliers, and a wrought-metal dome.

Marrakech, Morocco
 Madrid Barajas Terminal 4
Madrid, Spain

 Designed by "star-chitect" Richard Rogers,

Madrid's huge Terminal 4 tries to break free of
typical box-style construction by using a roof line of
undulating ribs, which helped it win the 2006
Stirling Prize for architecture.
 This is an intelligently designed terminal: clear,
color-coded signs group together directions for
gates, and multi-level walkways reduce traffic on
each individual level.

 Carrasco International Airport,
Montevideo, Uruguay

 Montevideo's airport terminal is a smooth dome,

looking from the front a bit like a whale's
mouth; inside, lines are smooth, clean and calm,
with grand terraces overlooking the runways
and arrival areas.
 It is not a busy airport, but it's designed as if it
was one. The terminal is designed to handle 4.5
million passengers a year, but it is traffic has
been stable for years at a bit over a million.
Carrasco International Airport,
Montevideo, Uruguay
 Bilbao Airport Main Terminal I,
Bilbao, Spain

 Bilbao Airport Main Terminal 1 - designed by big-name

architect Santiago Calatrava and his obsession with cable
bridges, ships' sails and birds' wings; his designs often
look like they're the skeletons of some ancient whale or
the prow of a spaceship about to head to Alpha Centauri.
 Bilbao's terminal is known as "the dove," and it has
sharply-canted curves and lots of light streaming
through, and bisected by, ribs which resemble cables.
 A grand viewing gallery lets the families of arriving
passengers see their loved ones as they pick up their
bags.
