AbstractThis paper analyses passenger terminal configurations for accommodating new large aircraft (NLA) operations. NLA are new aircraft developments larger than the Boeing 747, of which the Airbus A380, scheduled to enter service in 2006, is the most prominent example. The analysis is performed individually for a single pier, several types of pier–satellites, and a set of remote parallel piers connected by an automated people mover (APM). In all cases, the best location for the NLA gate positions is sought, using analytical models. The overall disutility of walking and riding APM is taken as the criterion for optimality.
