For most modern airports, the major design problem is scale how to allow adequate space on the ground for maneuvering wide body jets while permitting convenient and apid movement of passengers departing, arriving, or transferring from one flight to another.
Most designs for airport terminals take one of four approaches. In the linear plan, the building may be straight o curved. The passengers board aircraft parked next to the terminal. This plan works well for small airports that need to provide boarding areas for only a few aircraft at a time.
In the pier plan, narrow corridors or piers extend from a central building. This plan allows many aircraft o park next to the building. However, it creates long walking distance for passengers.
In the satellite plan, passengers board aircraft small terminals that are separated from the main terminals. Passengers reach the satellite by way of shuttle trains or underground passengers ways that have shuttle trains or moving sidewalks.
The transporter plan employs some system of transport to move passengers from the terminal building to the aircraft. If buses are used, the passengers must climb a flight of stairs to board the aircraft. If mobile lounges are used, they can link up directly with the aircraft and protect passengers from the weather.
