Day 2 - 21 March
Session:
Airport Design, Planning & Development


14:00 - 14:30 - Three terminals transform into one – by Airside Connection
Synopsis: Our aim for Hannover Airport was to increase the airport's security check by smart solutions for passengers, operators and employees. It is a great challenge, especially for mid-size airports, to meet high security requirements, quality and comfort given the limitations of the existing building's dimensions. With its 1970s 'triangle' terminal buildings, Hannover Airport has found a genius solution at minimum cost: the 'Airside Connection' for Terminals A, B and C. Thus the passenger entry of each terminal provides access to all three terminals' departure capacities, gaining operational backup, more flexibility and higher efficiency.
