terminal building floor plans. Individual terminal projects also can be initiated by an air carrier's strategic business plan as related to a particular airport or can be sponsored by a government entity associated with an airport looking to implement a new terminal through the non-traditional source of a third-party developer.

Since the last update, significant changes in technology, industry structure, and airline operations have occurred, which have shifted the balance of importance of certain planning factors for airport terminal buildings. These shifts in balance have occurred in areas that include, but are not limited to, the following: • Passenger security screening – Carry-on baggage restrictions – Trusted/registered traveler programs – Additional screening requirements • Baggage security screening – In-line/explosives detection system screening – Lobby screening • Electronic check-in – On–airport – Off–airport – Airline goals for electronic check-ins • Low-cost airlines – Gate utilization – Space requirements – Level of service standards – Design criteria • Concessions – Secure/non-secure – Demand increases • Cost effectiveness – Revenue generation – Cost per enplanement – Capital cost factors (fuel, steel, long-lead items)

While each of the foregoing factors have had a profound effect on airport operations, they are part of an evolution that began at the threshold of the commercial jet age around 1960 and will, in all likelihood, continue to evolve and change as long as air travel is the preeminent means of transport for millions of people worldwide. It is the intent and purpose of this Guidebook to achieve a balance in the terminal planning and design process by addressing recent changes that have occurred, as well as future potential issues, trends, anticipated effects, and solutions that may need to be considered in the future.

Saarinen's terminals, like many others built in the 1960s, were planned and designed without benefit of any guidelines, and without having had the experience provided by precedent. By the end of the decade, it was clear that more systematic terminal planning and design guidance was needed.
