MOBILE LOUNGE OR FIXED GATE

An analysis is conducted of the relative advantages and drawbacks in the case of the fixed gate and the mobile lounge concept. The functional characteristics of the two concepts are examined. It is pointed out that the reduction in walking distances possible by the employment of the mobile lounge could also be achieved by a new terminal design. Economic aspects are also discussed, giving attention to investment planning, personnel requirements, and operating costs.
