Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport (Germany)

Passenger Flow and Layout Evaluation

2002

Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport In 2002, the purpose of the redesign of Berlin Schönefeld International Airport's departure area was primarily to integrate additional retail space into the existing terminal building and redirect passenger flow to make this additional space attractive to potential concessionaires, without compromising passenger comfort, flow or experience.

Berlin Schönefeld International Airport turned to Logplan to provide solutions for optimizing existing terminal areas and verify retail development plans. A simulation tool was developed in order to analyze passenger flow and capacity for check-in areas, security checkpoints, passport control zones, retailing areas, waiting areas and departure gates for the departure portion of the terminal building. Several layout changes were suggested which were accepted and implemented by the airport.
