The ongoing boom in travel demand within Asia Pacific, together with challenges posed by climate change and growing global instability, as well as the pace of technological change in the lives we all lead, will shape airports that might – apart from the obvious building-with-planes-nearby similarities – be almost unrecognisable to today’s traveller.

says:None of these items which are labeled as “enhancements “ enthrall me. For one, I don’t like the retail push, I like to see and speak to a person, and don’t like automated technology. The new security measures, translate to full body scanners. The only plus, is not having to remove lap tops and gels. Are airport authorities and airlines listening and consulting with users and passengers, or they doing what is convenient and cheaper for them, and what they think the public will want?

says:I have a reasonable past history with large airports and can’t understand why bays are not aligned at 45 degrees to the taxiway lead-in line instead of the standard 90 degrees? Surely this would reduce the trust required to roll onto bays, most airports require a 2 -3 degree uphill run to the stop bar for fuel spills etc.
In addition, the push back would see less load being placed on the aircraft landing gear as a result of the aircraft parking at 45 degrees
