Airport Terminal Retail Design
Airport Terminal Retail Design
Note: Increasing need for passenger and baggage security has caused the
grouping of facilities and channelling of passengers, and has reduced the
distinction between
the two types.

TYPES OF SPATIAL ARRANGEMENTS
The following are some the historic techniques that have been utilized in the
development of passenger terminals:
The epitome of this type of terminal which is considered the most efficient in operation
would be a simple airstrip with no more that a few aircraft positions and occasional aircraft
scheduled.
The effective use of the CONSOLIDATED TERMINAL can best be measured by convenience
to passengers and efficiency of operation for the airline. Major terminal complexes
invariably are multiples of this small, consolidated group.

b. The push-out operation requires the use of expensive tractors and personnel to move
the aircraft out of its gate position before it powers away from the terminal area. The
push-out operation offers the advantage of requiring less apron area and less square
footage of terminal building because of a reduced linear length.

AREA CONSIDERATIONS FOR
BAGGAGE SYSTEMS
ENPLANING BAGGAGES
As indicated in the flow diagram, baggage may be received from two possible
sources:
• Counter Check-in
This coincides with the usual ticket counter in the main terminal area. It
is customary to provide mechanization from an area directly in the back
of the ticket counter to the central baggage room .

8. INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM between airlines, operating authority and

PARKING CONCEPTS
Most airport parking facilities are developed for its revenue-generating function.
Therefore, attention must be given to the different types of parking and how they
function as well as the amount of parking required based on rate of turn-over .
TYPES OF PARKING:
1. Short-term (metered) Parking
2. Medium-Term (one or two days) Parking
3. Long-term Parking
4. Valet Parking
5. Car-Rental Parking
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Public information systems used to be just an afterthought of the prime airline
information system, with little consideration devoted to the demands of the
public for accurate travel information. Telephone communication between the
interested party and the airline was the only recourse for getting informed
about flight delays or schedules.
Nowadays, the best available media are the giant electronic billboards,
dynamic alpha numeric display boards, and the simplest is the use of computer
monitors dispersed throughout the terminal building, announcing flight
information in real time. Public address systems and CCTV systems are
important for last-minute announcements and most especially for emergency
calls.
Key points:
SHOPPING ACTIVITIES
Shopping activities vary with different needs and may be described as essential,
convenience, comparison, purposive (specific), leisure or remote.
SELLING METHOD
• Personal Service
• Self-selection
• self-service
• assisted service
❑ Net Sales Area (NSA) : internal floor space of a retail unit used for selling and
displaying goods and services.
The ratio of sales to ancillary space ranges from about 45:55 in small shops and
departmental stores to 60:40 in supermarkets.

Planning
Halls are usually designed to give a large-span open space having natural roof lighting, good ventilation
and service connections. One-floor trading is preferred. Any upper floor is usually limited to a perimeter
balcony served by escalators, stairs, goods and disabled lifts. Perimeter stalls and other grouped
layouts have service corridors.
Fish, meat and food stalls are sited in zoned areas with more sophisticated ventilation, drainage and
services.
Key considerations: Access and linkage to car parks, shopping areas, goods delivery and parking
bays. Mix of traders. Risk of fire (incombustible materials, fire-resistant construction smoke evacuation)
and means of escape.

Engineering Services
The landlord is normally responsible for installing mains and providing the
communal services of the mal including comfort cooling and heating or air-
conditioning, lighting, cleaning, fire control, and security systems.
Other Facilities
Public toilets including facilities for the disabilities are installed and maintained
by the landlord. Access to a public car park is often a primary consideration in
letting units.
