2.8.1 Facility Classification
In order to p h appropriately the planner must plan for the operations that take place in that particular locale. As mentioned previously the type of passenger is as
important as the amount of passengers. The following is a brief description of the different types of facilities Horonjeff and McKelvey 1994, p.442.
• OriginatingTerminating Station: 70 to 90 of total passengers, High level of processing. High demand for parking, ticket counters, and baggage
claims. • Transfer Stations: High percentage of connecting passengers. Focus on
convey and inter gate access, flow circumvents main terminal area. • Through Station: High percentage of originating passengers on aircraft
originating at another destination. Less passenger service facilities than at an originating station. Smaller departure lounges.
2.8.2 IntransitPassengers
Transit passengers usually dont have an alternative but to proceed in the manner of a regular arivalpassenger and then proceed as a regular departing
passenger. Some newer airports have provided a system to better the transiting procedures of passengers. As transiting passengers provide a major percentage of

traffic at some airports, the treatment of these passengers is essential to maintaining that airport as a primary choice of the travelling public. Busier
international airports provide lounges for passengers without the proper travel visadocuments to enter the country in which they are travelling through on route
to another country. Vancouver International has maintained itself as a gateway to Southeast Asia by providing an almost unimpeded transit process for international
passengers Hughes 1996, p.9. As mentioned earlier flows of thepassangger and baggage are becoming a
very important contemporary planning issue. As the Spoke and Hub system becomes the nom around the industry, the planning of the hubs must pay
particular attention to the role of the transfer or connecting passengers. Some airports boast up to 80 transfer passengers. [f these airports are designed to
operationally process originating and terminating passengers, the physical layout might not properly serve the majority of the passengers.
Terminating and originating passenger flows can be viewed as vertical systems running from landside to airside. A transfer passenger system may be
viewed as moving horizontally. Anunacomodatingsystem might force the passenger to move along the vertical terminating system, then horizontally
through the terminal building and once again vertical as an originating passenger. This is a time connsumingprocess as well as inefficient, fistrating and
inconvenient for the passenger.
