Airport

An airport as a walkable model: passengers from check-in through security to the gate, plus baggage, turnaround and winter operations.

All data are fictional – FLUGHAFEN OSTERVENN does not exist. The model can be fitted to your airport's real data and filled with what nobody sees live today: passenger numbers per hour and security lane, or waiting times from counting sensors.

An airport passenger process simulation built around FLUGHAFEN OSTERVENN, a fictional airport operator. It provides runways, terminal and rhythm – but almost everything passengers see is done by others: coordinating without authority. The main process takes passengers from check-in through security screening to the gate. Their bags run in parallel through hold baggage screening and, if needed, a second-level check. The target in the model: at security within 30 minutes of check-in.

The site has the terminal, apron, de-icing pad, operations building, airport fire service, winter services and engineering, and a car park. At the start of the holidays or during a warning strike, the queue in front of security grows in plain sight. CT scanners and open lanes shorten it; a second de-icing pad saves time in winter. Alongside, an aircraft is turned around between two flights, and it snows.

In the model, security screening is assigned to the operator; at many airports in Germany the federal police commission private providers instead. Documented in the sources: the separate roles and A-CDM with shared target times. This page is for airport management, terminal operations, planning, winter services, communications and the partners on the airport.

Passengers depart

  1. 01

    Check-in and bag drop: Twenty passengers drop their bags at the machine.

  2. 02

    Security screening: Cabin bags onto the belt, through the walk-through.

  3. 03

    Passenger and suitcase take separate routes.

  4. 04

    Waiting at the gate: Waiting at the gate, coffee, paper.

  5. 05

    Baggage system with screening: Every bag is screened and sorted.

  6. 06

    Level 2 screening: An image is unclear: a person takes a look.

  7. 07

    Passenger at the gate, bag at the aircraft.

  8. 08

    Boarding: Boarding via the jet bridge.

  9. 09

    On board.

How an airport can use the model

  • Internal communication

    ‘Where people work’ shows how many companies work in the terminal, and ‘Who works with whom’ how airlines, ground handlers, federal police and air navigation fit together.

    Pour quiAirport management, communications, airport partners

  • Onboarding

    New colleagues follow twenty passengers and their suitcases on separate paths until passenger and bag meet again at the aircraft.

    Pour quiNew staff in terminal, baggage system and aviation security

  • Training

    ‘Baggage system fails’ holds bags back for three hours; ‘A-CDM platform fails’ removes the shared target times for two. Both can be practised without risk.

    Pour quiTrainees, airport operations centre, baggage handling

  • Explaining to customers

    Show passengers, airlines and politicians why security takes longer at the start of the holidays and what CT scanners change: liquids and laptops stay in the bag.

    Pour quiCommunications, passenger service, airlines

  • Strategic overview

    More security lanes, CT scanners, a second de-icing pad, better A-CDM data: ‘What each control does’ ranks the investments by their effect.

    Pour quiAirport management, planning, workforce planning

Departments in the model

  • Board

    Leads the operator – airlines, handlers and authorities do not belong to it.

  • Apron control

    Assigns stands and directs apron traffic.

  • Airport operations centre and A-CDM

    Shares target times with all partners – coordinating without authority.

  • Terminal operations

    Keeps the terminal running: gates, routes, information.

  • Aviation security (on behalf of the federal police)

    Screens passengers and cabin baggage – a delegated task.

  • Baggage handling

    Sorts and screens every bag.

  • Infrastructure and engineering

    Runways, apron, energy, buildings.

  • Winter services

    Clears runways in convoys.

  • Airport fire service

    Must reach any runway end within minutes.

  • Safety management and compliance

    Evaluate reports, keep the certificate.

  • Retail, parking, real estate

    Rents and parking – almost half of the revenue.

  • Passenger service

    Information, help, care during disruptions.

  • IT

    Airport database and A-CDM platform.

What you can change

Controls

  • Passenger volume: At the start of the holidays many more passengers come at the same time.
  • Security lanes: How many lanes screen at once.
  • CT scanners: Liquids and laptops stay in the bag: each lane handles more (model assumption).
  • A-CDM data discipline: Accurate target times: fewer new slots (model assumption).
  • Second de-icing pad: More de-icing positions: winter costs less time (model assumption).

Disruptions

  • Warning strike in aviation security: For eight hours only a third of the lanes are staffed.
  • Baggage system fails: For three hours the baggage system stands still – bags stay behind.
  • Snowfall: For a day it keeps snowing: handling takes longer.
  • A-CDM platform fails: For two hours there are no shared target times.

What the model gives an airport

  • 01

    The queue before it forms

    At the start of the holidays or during a warning strike, the simulated wait visibly jumps beyond 30 minutes – in the terminal and in ‘Where the site gets tight’.

  • 02

    Coordination without authority

    The model shows what the operator does itself and what partners and authorities do. Shared target times connect them, and losing them is felt at once.

  • 03

    Plan for winter in summer

    The process ‘It snows’, with runway clearing, de-icing and camp beds for stranded passengers, can be played through at any time – also with a second de-icing pad.

  • 04

    Turnaround as a chain

    Landing, stand, handling, target times, off-block: an aircraft is turned around between two flights, visible step by step.

  • 05

    For the terminal and the big screen

    Runs in the browser and on large projections, with 14 diagrams and a guided tour on first start.

Basis and limits

Fictional airport · model based on researched industry structures · no forecast for real companies

1 case = 20 passengers, 1 aircraft or 1 winter day · 1 figure ≈ 25 employees

All volumes, durations, rates and capacities are model assumptions, not values of a real airport.

Security screening is delegated to the operator here; at many airports the federal police contracts private providers.

Documented: separate roles of operator, airlines, handlers, federal police and air navigation; A-CDM with target times; one hundred percent baggage screening.

Public sources the model is based on:

  • VO (EU) 139/2014 Flugplätze
  • RL 96/67/EG Bodenabfertigung
  • Luftsicherheitsgesetz (§§ 5, 8, 9)
  • Airport Collaborative Decision Making (Eurocontrol)
