Passenger Comfort is one of the most important factors in Airports
Designing seating areas in airports requires careful consideration of various factors to meet the needs of a diverse group of travelers while optimizing comfort, efficiency, and aesthetics. Here are the most important factors:
Seating should be comfortable for various durations, from short waits to long layovers. Chairs with proper back support, cushioned seats, and armrests enhance passenger comfort. Adequate space between seats allows for personal comfort, reduces crowding, and ensures people can easily move around.
There are many of seating types, such as standard seats, lounge chairs, to accommodate different needs (e.g., travelers resting, working, or relaxing). Seating should be placed in areas that do not obstruct foot traffic, particularly near gates, security, or baggage claim.
Ensure seating areas are accessible to all passengers, including those with disabilities. Some seats should have spaces for wheelchairs, and other accommodations like lower seating for people with mobility issues.
With the prevalence of personal devices, providing charging stations and outlets integrated into seating areas is essential. We are using stain-resistant, and easy-to-clean materials that can withstand heavy traffic and wear.
Modular designs that allow for easy replacement of damaged parts help maintain cleanliness and functionality.
Some seating areas can benefit from moveable chairs that allow families, groups, or solo travelers to adjust seating to their needs.
Modular and Flexible seating options that can be reconfigured based on the passenger load (e.g., adding more seats during peak times) are beneficial for high-traffic terminals.
