09:05 - 09:35 - Mega passenger terminals – a new paradigm
Synopsis: The emergence of major new airports (planned for 100mppa plus) such as Dubai World Central, New Beijing Airport, New Mexico City and the third Istanbul Airport, is encouraging some radical reinterpretation of large passenger terminals – how big can a single terminal be? This presentation describes the context for the new generation of mega airports and captures the advantages and disadvantages inherent in mega terminals. With reference to the key characteristics of the proposed mega terminals the presentation identifies the key relationships and passenger facilities that constrain terminals, and provides an overview of alternative configurations.
