Day 2 - 11 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

09:30 - 09:55 - Redefining the kerb – new insights into GTC design
Synopsis: The airport terminal experience is changing rapidly as contemporary passenger processing offers new ways of designing the airport terminal and especially its kerb. As airports are becoming destinations for travel, leisure, retail and business, the GTC is where all of the energy and airport landside development is focusing. At the crossroads between the airport terminal and the airport city, new GTC design concepts could offer opportunities for airport development. Moreover, recent trends in passenger processing will allow for greater integration of airport terminal and kerbside development; a new dimension to the passenger experience with great impact on architectural design.
