, Preface
The aviation industry is a fast-growing industry. Therefore, the number of passengers at the airport is also
growing. In this report the chosen airport Paris Orly Airport in IO1 will be further developed.
The main question that will be researched is: Does Paris Orly need a terminal expansion to be able to
handle the passenger capacity in the future?
We try to answer this question by means of the following concepts:
• The Level of Service (LoS) concept described by IATA will be used. The LoS concept is a guidance
framework for the planning of new terminal facilities.
• Also, the LoS concept is for monitoring the operational service performance of existing facilities. It
specifies the minimum service requirements at various terminal sub-systems such as space
provision and waiting times (IATA, 2015).
• The LoS is expressed in three states:
1. Overdesign: too much space per PAX (empty space) and/or overprovision of resources
2. Optimum: sufficient space to accommodate and/or acceptable processing and waiting times
3. Sub-optimum: crowded and uncomfortable and/or unacceptable processing and waiting times
At the end of this report an expansion proposal will be written for Paris Orly Airport so that the airport will
be able to handle the passenger growth.
