Overall Space Approximation:The primary users of airport passenger terminals are travelers, well-wishers,
meeters/greeters, airline employees, concessionaires, government, airport owner/operator
staff, and other airport tenants. The terminal facilities must accommodate all these users.
The FAA has indicated that the gross terminal area space requirements of between 0.08
and 0.12 ft^2 (0.007-0.011 m^2 ) per annual enplaned passenger are reasonable. Another
estimate is obtained by applying a ratio of 150 ft^2 (14 m^2 ) per design hour passenger.
- The first assumption: Gross terminal area is between 0.007 and 0.011 퐦ퟐ per
annual enplaned passenger, taking the average value of 0.009 퐦ퟐ per annual
enplaned passenger.
