THE CAPACITY AND CIRCULATION OF PASSENGER TERMINAL BUILDING IN REGIONAL AIRPORT (CASE: MINANGKABAU AND ADISUTJIPTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS OF INDONESIA)
Abstract: The dissertation
explains about capacity and flow inside terminal buildings in two regional
airports in Indonesia: Minangkabau and Adisutjipto International Airports. Both
airports have similar characteristics of passengers’ number and locations as
tourism areas. Secondary data in the form of existing terminal layouts and air
traffic numbers were gained from both airports authorities in Indonesia. The
analysis was carried out using the formulas from Japan International
Cooperation Agency – Directorate General of Civil Aviation of
Indonesia(JICA-DGCA) studies in 1996 for significant areas in the terminal
building, Ashford and Wright formula for calculating aircraft movement per
hour, Microsoft Excel for calculating the 10-year passenger growth rate, and
SPSS for determining the linear equation for domestic departure resulted in the
forecasted saturation in the near 2020 for both of airports, especially on
passengers’ handling areas such as boarding lounge (for departure) and baggage
claim area (for arrival). The research resulted in ideas to overcome problems
related to the increasing capacity by adding areas (if possible) and changing
layouts. Some other options such as implementation of more effective signage
and the suggestion of centralizing security checking areas also are being
brought—though needed further research. There should be an addition of numbers
of security check lines, appropriately to the increasing number of passengers.
If a single queuing line creates delays, then the need for extra line(s) is a
necessity
