WHAT IS AN AIRPORT?
An airport is an aerodrome with extended facilities, mostly for
commercial air transport. Airports often have facilities to store and
maintain aircraft, and a control tower. An airport consists of a landing
area, which comprises an aerially accessible open space including at least
one operationally active surface such as a runway for a plane to take off or
a helipad, and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as control
towers, hangars and terminals. Larger airports may have fixed-base operator
services, airport aprons, taxiway bridges, air traffic control centers,
passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency
services.

BAGGAGE STORING AND TRANSFERING
Bags are entered into the system by airline staff at check-in desks,
which feed a pair of tilt-tray sorters that deliver bags to the baggage
hall.
Airline agents at check-in attach a luggage tag to the bag, with a unique
barcode and ten-digit number which has the bag’s destination and route.
The bag is then read by a barcode scanner and routed through the
network of conveyors to a collection chute for processing by
baggage handling staff.
This links each item of luggage to the passenger list. The handler then
loads bags onto carts, which are driven out to the aircraft for
loading in the hold.
When it comes to transfer bags, these are unloaded and placed in the
baggage system, where they are scanned, screened and sorted for
reloading.
After flight the bags make the return journey through the baggage
system and are ready to be picked up by passengers

checkpoints in operation and the time of the screening procedure can be
associated as parameters.
6) Boarding gate: Boarding gates are the exit points ofthe passengers from
the terminals. Passengers gather at the gate area, and after boarding, they
leave the terminal one by one. Parameters associated to the boarding gates
are their capacities and the time of boarding procedure.
ARRIVAL
DISEMBARK>CUSTOMS>BAGGAGE CLAIM>DEPART AIRPORT
Passengers arriving at airport would disembark and proceed through
the arrivals gate into the restricted meet and greet area. In order to avoid
congestion in the main public area a separate node would be provided where
only pre‐approved and identity card carry rangers and guides from the
lodges and concessions would be allowed access to meet their arriving
guests. Facilities to be able to provide refreshments to these groups have
also been provided in this area. It is envisaged that this would be used by
members of small groups waiting for others to disembark etc.
Larger groups and FIT travelers would however be directed to bypass
this area and proceed directly to the main public area and then through to
the entrance vestibule. On the left of the vestibule a decked open area has
been provided where larger groups can be held in order for them to be
briefed etc. by their event or group coordinators. This will also be
designated a smoking area.
Simultaneous to passengers disembarking their flights, their baggage
would be offloaded and be transported to the arrivals baggage collection
facility.
