THE CENTRAL TERMINAL - FRANKFURT'S VISTING CARD

THE NEW CENTRAL TERMINAL AT FRANKFURT AIRPORT THAT HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR SIX MONTHS IS DESCRIBED. THE NEW BUILDING IS REGARDED AS ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY ACCLAIMED AIRPORT PROJECTS IN THE WORLD. IT IS DESCRIBED ALONG WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE MOTIVATED THE CHOICES UNDERLYING ITS DESIGN. THE TESTING TROUBLES ENCOUNTERED IN ITS INITIAL OPERATION PHASE ARE DISCUSSED, AND THE NEED FOR BETTER COOPERATION BETWEEN AIRPORT AND AIRLINE ADMINISTRATIONS IS POINTED OUT. THREE BRIEF REPORTS BY STATION MANAGERS OF MAJOR AIRLINES COMPLEMENT THE REVIEW. /IAA/
