ABSTRACT

Airport management is to manage the three major parts of airport i.e., city side, terminal building
and air side. Terminal manager has to look after the customer service management in addition to
their day to day responsibility of terminal operation.

In airport different agencies like airlines, immigration, custom, security, banks, post office and
concessionaires are managed.

The main aim of the airport is to provide all the facilities and security to the passengers. The
terminal manager provides the customers satisfaction. If the airport fulfills all these services, the
numbers of passengers are increased day by day.

So the airport always tries better to fulfill all these works.

2. INTRODUCTION
Airports are the mirror of the country. The passengers who are our esteemed Customer coming to
the Country for the first time Analyses/Forms the image of the Country from Terminal Building
and its surroundings. After arrival, inside the Terminal Building, he/she tries to explore the
surroundings more closely specially furniture, cleanliness and comfort of the surroundings. The
basic service provided should be clean, comfortable and safe surroundings as the satisfaction of
the customer is of paramount importance.
Airport Authority of India is the organization which develops, maintains and helps in better
functioning of airports. There is also other non-government operator who builds the aerodromes
but the basic difference is that the AAI provides Air Traffic Services to all the airports all over
India but the private operator does not have the authority.
Airport Authority of India envisages aerodromes, airsides, cargo, air traffic services in the
airports.

A. Airport Management:
Airport management is function of Passenger Information, Passenger Facilitation, Air Navigation
Services, Security, Customer Service Management (CSM), House Keeping, and VVIP/VIP
Movements. With the help of Airport Management airports are to take care of passengers, their
luggage and other amenities as well the security of the passengers and of itself.

B. Significance of Airport management:
Airports are huge businesses. For example, you saw that a big airport can have over a hundred
acres of floor space in the terminals, millions of cubic yards of concrete in the runways and
hundreds of people staffing the facilities.



Commercial airports are publicly owned and generally financed through municipal bonds.
Airports typically own all of their facilities and make money by leasing them to airlines, air-
freight companies and retail shops and services, as well as by charging for services like fuel and
parking and through fees and taxes on airline tickets. The revenues pay off the municipal debt
and cover the operating costs. Airports often require other sources of funding as well, such as
airport bonds and government grants. But most airports are self-sustaining businesses once they
become operational.
About 90 percent of employees at airports work for private companies, such as airlines,
contractors and concessions. Most of the remaining 10percent work directly for the airport as
administrators, terminal and grounds maintenance personnel and safety crews. Air traffic
controllers are employees of the federal government. Airports have their own departments of
finance, personnel, administration and public relations, much like any city or municipality.

C. Objectives:
The following are the objectives of the study:
To review the literature on Terminal and Airside.
To identify the existing system in the tune with future needs of operations.
To identify the facilities within an airport terminal
To identify the facilities of transfer of passengers and baggage to and from aircraft.
To propose improving in existing facilities in lines with International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) standards.









D. Functions of airport:

Airside functions of an airport:

Air traffic service,
Ground traffic service, (follow-me)
Airport ground service, (towing, de-icing, and refuel)
Airline ground service, (ground handling: load/unload, catering, water, and lavatory)

Landside functions of an airport:

Terminal service,
Lounge service,
Luggage service,
Porter service,
Special services (VIPs, disabled persons).

E. Literature review:
Airport management department has to play significant role in smooth and effective functioning
of terminal operation.
Airport Management discipline can be made responsible to carry out this task in coordination
with other concerned department of AAI.
The scope of airport management is very broader & essential to the passengers. This
management provides various sorts of services & help according to passengers requirement. The
services which are provided to the passengers by airport should be affordable and fulfill their
satisfactory level. The purpose of this study was to identify the existing workings and operations
of the airport.





F. Research methodology:
The study shall be made by doing research through discussions, observations, interactions with
officials of different department associated with the working at Terminal, Airside, ATC and
Operations. The primary data is collected by above methods will be analyses to identifies
problem areas in the existing system of Airport Operation. The secondary data shall be
conducted from various references books/ manuals available with the organization.
















3. OPERATIONS OF AIRPORT
A. Airport Operator:-
Airport Operator may be sub-divided into 2 parts:-
a. Government Operator
b. Private Operator
Airport can be managed by government or private operator. The basic function is safety and
security of the overall airport operation & management which can be handled by Airports
Authority of India (Government) or GVK (Gunapati Venkata Krishna Reddy), GMR(Grandhi
Mallikarjun Rao) (Private).All operators ensure that the airport operations and required facilities
are in order and in accordance with DGCA and ICAO guidelines.
a. Government Operator: Airports Authority of India is an organization working under
Ministry of Civil Aviation is responsible to manage ATS of all the airports in India as
well as operations and management of majority of airports. It manages 126 airports,
including 11 international, 89 domestic, 26 civil enclaves. AAI not only creates, upgrade
and maintain the civil aviation infrastructure both on ground and air space in the country
but also provides provision of visual aids to all the airports of India.

b. Private Operator: The AAI was involved in transformation of airports in coordination
with the Ministry of Civil Aviation over the issue of privatization of its two most
profitable airports, Delhi Airport and Mumbai Airport. The Government of India handed
over these two airports to private companies for the purpose of modernization in 2006.
The privatization for Mumbai has been handed to GVK Group and for Hyderabad, Delhi
to the GMR Group.





The airports which have been privatized are:
Cochin - Cochin International Airport
Bangalore - Bangalore International Airport
Delhi - Indira Gandhi International Airport
Hyderabad - Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
GVK, GMR is the infrastructure company. They also design and develop the airports. They only
manage the Terminal and Airside but not the Air Traffic Services (ATS) it is only under Airports
Authority of India which controls the signal and communicate to the pilot for safe landing and
takeoff.

B. Airline Operator:
Airline Operator may also be sub-divided into 2 parts:
a. Government Operator
b. Private Operator
It can be also operated by Government or Private Airlines. Air India is a state-owned flag carrier
and it is a part of the Indian Government-owned Air India Limited. There are private players in
the market which increase the competition among them.
Government Operator: Government Operator can be defined that the airline is operated by
Government. The only airline in India is Air India and Indian Airlines which have been merged
to form NACIL (National Aviation Company of India Limited) in 2010.
Private Operator: Private Operators which are emerging large in number in India. For instance,
Spice jet, Kingfisher, Go Air, Indigo, etc. These are which have their own management and had
no interference with the government. These both cover the entire market in India and many more
to step up in the market in near future.




4. JAIPUR AIRPORT
A. Introduction:
Jaipur Airport or Sanganer Airport (IATA: JAI, ICAO: VIJP) is near the town of Sanganer,
13 km (8.1 mi) from Jaipur, the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan.
Sanganer Airport is the only international airport in the state of Rajasthan. It was granted the
status of international airport on 29 December 2005. The civil apron can accommodate four
A320 aircraft and the New Terminal building can handle up to 500 passengers at a time. There
are plans to extend the runway to 12,000 ft. (3,658 m) and expand the terminal building to
accommodate 1,000 passengers per hour.
There are mainly two runways at Jaipur international airport namely 09 and 27 and the width of
runway is 60 m.There are 8 taxiways and 23 bays including demolished terminal i.e. terminal
1.The whole administrative working of the airport has been taken place at terminal 1. Recently,
Indigo starts its cargo handling from 30
th
June 2013, before only Air India was active in cargo.

B. Structure:
Terminal building





The new domestic terminal building at Jaipur Airport was inaugurated on 1 July 2009. The new
terminal has an area of 22,950 sq. is made of glass and steel structure having modern passenger
friendly facilities such as central heating system, central air conditioning, inline x-ray baggage
inspection system integrated with the departure conveyor system, inclined arrival baggage claim
carousals, escalators, public address system, Flight information display system (FIDS), CCTV
for surveillance, Airport check-in counters with Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE), car
parking, etc. The International Terminal Building has peak hour passenger handling capacity of
500 passengers and annual handling capacity of 4 lakhs.
The entrance gate is made of sandstone and Dholpur stones along with Rajasthani paintings on
the walls, give tourists a glimpse of the Rajasthani culture. Two fountains on both sides of the
terminal, dotted with palm trees, ensure that normal temperature is maintained within the airport
premises. The transparent side walls of the building have adjustable shades that control the
passage of sunlight into the airport premises, thereby cutting down heavily on electricity bills.

D. Passenger Information:
As the information is the most essential and desired part of visitor facilitation be it an airport,
railway station, bus stand. In fact as and when a visitor reaches such a public place his first
priority is to know immediately the current status of schedule of his or her journey. This
information is conveyed to the passengers by way of audio or video gadgets. Timely and precise
information received by the passengers makes their journey/visit to the airport comfortable.
Signages
Audio Information
Video Information:



At the airports, the visitors/passengers are required to be disseminated with the requisite
information which may be communicated by way ofsignage, audio & video means. The
information facilitates the passengers to take the necessary action.
Signages:
The question of developing an international sign language, without the use of words as far as
possible, to assist travelers and other airport users to locate the facilities & services in Airport
Terminal Building has been considered by several bodies.
It is therefore ICAO brought out Doc.9636 which deals with the INTERNATIONAL
SIGNAGES TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO PERSONS AT AIRPORTS . Signs should be
installed in conspicuous places and should not be large enough to be recognized at reasonable
distances and where necessary should be internally & externally illuminated. Directional signs
should be rectangular and location sign should be either square or rectangular.
Audio Information:
Good quality announcement can only be achieved by ensuring that the text to be transmitted is of
the good quality and the same is not over-modulated while announcing.
Video Information:
i. Flight Information Display System (FIDS)
ii. Close Circuit TV (CCTV)
It should be ensured in closed coordination with concerned Agencies/operator that the
information is correctly display on the Flight Information display system/CCTV.






E. Passenger Facilitation:
The main functions of Airport Management include construction, modification & management of
passenger terminals, development & management of cargo terminals, development &
maintenance of apron infrastructure including runways, parallel taxiways, apron etc., Provision
of Communication, Navigation and Surveillance which includes provision of DVOR / DME,
ILS, ATC radars, visual aids etc., provision of air traffic services, provision of passenger
facilities and related amenities at its terminals thereby ensuring safe and secure operations of
aircraft, passenger and cargo in the country.

Facilities:
The basic function staff deployed in the terminal management is to facilitate the passengers and
visitors. They are to be provided with the updated information if required by them. The terminal
management staff should have good communication skill so as to please even the
arrogant/hostile passenger or visitor with his behavior.

May I help you!:
May I help you! Counter should be manned inside the terminal building at a strategic location
so that it should be easily accessible by all the passengers. The staff deployed at this counter
should have good communication skill as he has to answer to the various queries of the people.
He should be fully conversant with topography of the terminal building as well as should have
general idea about the city in which the airport is located.

Public Grievance:-
In spite of our best efforts, we are not in a position to satisfy each and every passenger/visitors.
This may give rise to grievance among the passengers/visitors. There should be properly
maintained complaint register which should be serially numbered for entering public complaints.
It should also be ensured that there should be sufficient number of complaint and Suggestions
forms and boxes placed at easily accessible location, so that the passenger/visitors may put their
complaint/suggestions in there boxes. These boxes should be opened daily in the morning and
follow up action along with the reply to the complaint should be sent without unnecessary delay.
Manager should try his level best to assist the travelling public in redressing their grievances and
to act as a Public Grievance Officer.
Lost & Found Property:



The procedure for handing over lost and found properties claimed through different channels is
laid down as under.

immediately make an entry of the same in Performa.
(b) Handing over baggage/article(s) directly to claimant:
The authorized officer of AAI should:
- Ascertain the correct identity of the claimant and the claimed inventory of items through
polite and discreet questioning.
- After being fully satisfied ask the claimant to identify the claimed items in the presence
of another official preferably from AAI have the Performa of Undertaking by claimant
for claim of lost and found property (appendix iii) duly filled in by the claimant in
his/her own handwriting in the Lost and Found Property register viz. signature, name,
address (local and permanent), nationality, pass-port number etc.
(c) Handing over baggage/articles through airline staff:
The authorized officer of AAI shall ensure to:
- Obtain a copy of claimants message to airline regarding description of baggage/articles.

F. Air Navigation Services:
In tune with global approach to modernization of Air Navigation infrastructure for seamless
navigation across state and regional boundaries, Airport Management has been going ahead with
its plans for transition to satellite based Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Air
Traffic Management.
Induction of latest state-of-the-art equipment, both as replacement and old equipment and also as
new facilities to improve standards of safety of airports in the air is a continuous process.
Adoptions of new and improved procedure go hand in hand with induction of new equipment.
Some of the major initiatives in this direction are introduction of Reduced Vertical Separation
Minima (RVSM) in India air space to increase airspace capacity and reduce congestion in the air;
implementation of GPS and Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) jointly with ISRO which
when put to operation would be one of the four such systems in the world.

G. Air traffic control (ATC):
ATC is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and in
the air. The primary purpose of ATC system worldwide is to separate aircraft to prevent
collisions, to organize and expedite the flow of traffic, and to provide information and other
support for pilots when able. In some countries, ATC may also play a security or defense role (as
in the United States), or be run entirely by the military (as in Brazil).
In many countries, ATC services are provided throughout the majority of airspace, and its
services are available to all users (private, military, and commercial). When controllers are
responsible for separating some or all aircraft, such airspace is called "controlled airspace" in
contrast to "uncontrolled airspace" where aircraft may fly without the use of the air traffic control
system. Depending on the type of flight and the class of airspace, ATC may issue instructions
that pilots are required to follow, or merely flight information (in some countries known as



advisories) to assist pilots operating in the airspace. In all cases, however, the pilot in command
has final responsibility for the safety of the flight, and may deviate from ATC instructions in an
emergency.
Although the native language for a region is normally used, the English language must be used
on request, as required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
In 1919, the International Commission for Air Navigation (ICAN) was created to develop
General Rules for Air Traffic. Its rules and procedures were applied in most countries where
aircraft operated. The United States did not sign the ICAN Convention, but later developed its
own set of air traffic rules after passage of the Air Commerce Act of 1926. This legislation
authorized the Department of Commerce to establish air traffic rules for the navigation,
protection, and identification of aircraft, including rules as to safe altitudes of flight and rules for
the prevention of collisions between vessels and aircraft. The first rules were brief and basic. For
example, pilots were told not to begin their takeoff until there is no risk of collision with landing
aircraft and until preceding aircraft are clear of the field. As traffic increased, some airport
operators realized that such general rules were not enough to prevent collisions. They began to
provide a form of air traffic control (ATC) based on visual signals. Early controllers, like Archie
League (one of the first systems flagmen), stood on the field, waving flags to communicate with
pilots.
As more aircraft were fitted for radio communication, radio-equipped airport traffic control
towers began to replace the flagmen. In 1930, the first radio-equipped control tower in the
United States began operating at the Cleveland Municipal Airport. By 1935, about 20 radio
control towers were operating.
Increases in the number of flights created a need for ATC that was not just confined to airport
areas but also extended out along the airways. In December, the first Airway Traffic Control
Center opened at Newark, New Jersey. Additional centers at Chicago and Cleveland followed in
1936.
The postwar years saw the beginning of a revolutionary development in ATC, the introduction of
radar, a system that uses radio waves to detect distant objects. Originally developed by the



British for military defense, this new technology allowed controllers to see the position of
aircraft tracked on visual displays. In 1946, the CAA unveiled an experimental radar-equipped
tower for control of civil flights. By 1952, the agency had begun its first routine use of radar for
approach and departure control. Four years later, it placed a large order for long-range radars for
use in en route ATC.
Airport control:
The primary method of controlling the immediate airport environment is visual observation from
the airport traffic control tower (ATCT). The ATCT is a tall, windowed structure located on the
airport grounds. Aerodrome or Tower controllers are responsible for the separation and efficient
movement of aircraft and vehicles operating on the taxiways and runways of the airport itself,
and aircraft in the air near the airport, generally 2 to 5 nautical miles (3.7 to 9.2 km) depending
on the airport procedures.
Radar displays are also available to controllers at some airports. Controllers may use a radar
system called Secondary Surveillance Radar for airborne traffic approaching and departing.
These displays include a map of the area, the position of various aircraft, and data tags that
include aircraft identification, speed, heading, and other information described in local
procedures.
The areas of responsibility for ATCT controllers fall into three general operational disciplines;
Local Control or Air Control, Ground Control, and Flight Data/Clearance Deliveryother
categories, such as Apron Control or Ground Movement Planner, may exist at extremely busy
airports. While each ATCT may have unique airport-specific procedures, such as multiple teams
of controllers ('crews') at major or complex airports with multiple runways, the following
provides a general concept of the delegation of responsibilities within the ATCT environment.






H. Security:
The continuing security environment has brought into focus the need for strengthening security
of vital installations. There was thus an urgent need to revamp the security at airports not only to
thwart any misadventure but also to restore confidence of traveling public in the security of air
travel as a whole, which was shaken after 9/11 tragedy. With this in view, a number of steps
were taken including deployment of CISF for airport security, CCTV surveillance system at
sensitive airports, latest and state-of-the-art X-ray baggage inspection systems, premier security
& surveillance systems. Smart Cards for access control to vital installations at airports are also
being considered to supplement the efforts of security personnel at sensitive airports.
I. Customer Service Management(CSM):
The main motto of customer service management is having a product and not marketing it is
almost as good as not having one.
Therefore airport operators should showcase the various facilities and services of their airport to
attract more passengers.
This important function rests with the public and international relations of the organization.
J. House Keeping:
Airports are the mirror image of the country. The passengers who are esteemed customer coming
to the country for the first time analyze/forms the image the country from the terminal building
and its surrounding. After arrival inside the terminal building, he or she try to explore the
surroundings more closely specially furniture, cleanliness and comfort of the surroundings. By
this time the customer is in the position to judge the standard of the establishment. The basic
service provided should be clean, comfortable and safe surroundings as the satisfaction of the
customer is of paramount importance.




K. VVIP/VIP Movements:
AAI has been entrusted with the responsibility of handing VVIPs & providing entitled VIPs with
reserved lounge facilities, besides extending due courtesy and attendance due to responsible
staff/hostess. Due to security reasons the Dignitaries entitled to take their vehicle up to the
aircraft and dignitaries exempted from Pre-Embarkation Security Check. VIP commitments
being a sensitive matter need to be handled meticulously, under a well-defined drill and with
effective co-ordination.















5. GROUND CONTROL
Ground Control (sometimes known as Ground Movement Control abbreviated to GMC or
Surface Movement Control abbreviated to SMC) is responsible for the airport "movement" areas,
as well as areas not released to the airlines or other users. This generally includes all taxiways,
inactive runways, holding areas, and some transitional aprons or intersections where aircraft
arrive, having vacated the runway or departure gate. Exact areas and control responsibilities are
clearly defined in local documents and agreements at each airport. Any aircraft, vehicle, or
person walking or working in these areas is required to have clearance from Ground Control.
This is normally done via VHF/UHF radio, but there may be special cases where other processes
are used. Most aircraft and airside vehicles have radios. Aircraft or vehicles without radios must
respond to ATC instructions via aviation light signals or else be led by vehicles with radios.
People working on the airport surface normally have a communications link through which they
can communicate with Ground Control, commonly either by handheld radio or even cell phone.
Ground Control is vital to the smooth operation of the airport, because this position impacts the
sequencing of departure aircraft, affecting the safety and efficiency of the airport's operation.
Some busier airports have Surface Movement Radar (SMR), such as, ASDE-3, AMASS or
ASDE-X, designed to display aircraft and vehicles on the ground. These are used by Ground
Control as an additional tool to control ground traffic, particularly at night or in poor visibility.
There are a wide range of capabilities on these systems as they are being modernized. Older
systems will display a map of the airport and the target. Newer systems include the capability to
display higher quality mapping, radar target, data blocks, and safety alerts, and to interface with
other systems such as digital flight strips.






6. TERMINAL CONTROL
Many airports have a radar control facility that is associated with the airport. In most countries,
this is referred to as Terminal Control; in the U.S., it is referred to as a TRACON (Terminal
Radar Approach Control.) While every airport varies, terminal controllers usually handle traffic
in a 30 to 50 nautical mile (56 to 93 km) radius from the airport. Where there are many busy
airports in close proximity, one consolidated TRACON may service all the airports. The airspace
boundaries and altitudes assigned to a TRACON, which vary widely from airport to airport, are
based on factors such as traffic flows, neighboring airports and terrain. A large and complex
example is the London Terminal Control Centre which controls traffic for five main London
airports up to 20,000 feet (6,100 m) and out to 100 nautical miles (190 km).
Terminal controllers are responsible for providing all ATC services within their airspace. Traffic
flow is broadly divided into departures, arrivals, and over flights. As aircraft move in and out of
the terminal airspace, they are handed off to the next appropriate control facility (a control tower,
an en-route control facility, or a bordering terminal or approach control). Terminal control is
responsible for ensuring that aircraft are at an appropriate altitude when they are handed off, and
that aircraft arrive at a suitable rate for landing.
Not all airports have a radar approach or terminal control available. In this case, the en-route
center or a neighboring terminal or approach control may co-ordinate directly with the tower on
the airport and vector inbound aircraft to a position from where they can land visually. At some
of these airports, the tower may provide a non-radar procedural approach service to arriving
aircraft handed over from a radar unit before they are visual to land. Some units also have a
dedicated approach unit which can provide the procedural approach service either all the time or
for any periods of radar outage for any reason.






7. SECURITY
- CISF
- Customs
- Immigration
A. CISF (Central Industrial Security Force):
The CISF came into existence in 1969 with a modest beginning, having three battalions, to
provide integrated security cover to the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) which, in those
years, occupied the commanding heights of the economy. In a span of four decades, the Force
has grown several folds to reach one lakh twelve thousand personnel today. With globalization
and liberalization of the economy, CISF is no longer a PSU-centric organization. Instead, it has
become a premier multi-skilled security agency of the country, mandated to provide security to
major critical infrastructure installations of the country in diverse areas. CISF is currently
providing security cover to nuclear installations, space establishments, airports, seaports, power
plants, sensitive Government buildings and ever heritage monuments. Among the important
responsibilities recently entrust
To the CISF are the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, VIP Security, Disaster Management and
establishment of a Formed Police Unit (FPU) of the UN at Haiti.
It is a testimony to the level of professional competence and standing acquired by the Force over
the decades that its services are being sought for consultancy by the private sector also. Over the
years, the CISF has provided Consultancy Services to more than 65 different organizations,
including those in the private sector. After the Mumbai terrorist attack on November 2008, the
mandate of the force has been broadened to provide direct security cover to private sector also.
The CISF Act has been amended, heralding a new chapter in the glorious history of the Force.
Adaptability and use of cutting edge technology have been the hallmark of the Force which has
always confronted new security challenges successfully. In view of the prevailing security
environment in the country and threat from trans-national terrorism, the Force continuously



strives towards technological modernization and skills up gradation to build an edifice of
dedicated service to the Nation. The CISF is being continuously modernized, both in terms of
equipment and training.
