There are four principal types of arrangement of floor levels possible within the linear (or semi-circle)terminal configuration, they are:-Single level, side by side arrangement.-Side by side arrivals and departures, in two levels.-Vertical stacking of arrivals and departures.-Vertical segregation of two totally separate levels for arrivals and departures.High volume of traffic (in comparison to other international terminals) is not foreseen in this proposal,considering the serviceable population base being under 1 million. Therefore the arrangement waslikely to be either the single level, or side by side two level approach.Early analysis explored both options, and ultimately came to the conclusion that the single level optionwould not fulfill the future capacity requirements of an international terminal, albeit a relatively small one.The advantages of the multi level, side by side arrivals and departures option were:-The main landside entrance could be on ground level.-The departures concourse for both international and domestic could be on the first floor, with air bridgeaccess inclined downwards towards aircraft.-The arrivals area with customs and immigration could be located on the ground floor, (downwards fromthe aircraft) with close proximity to the arrivals gate.-The connection between the international, and domestic areas could be located centrally in order toachieve a simple transfer passage between the two.-The service requirements, such as baggage handling will be on the ground floor, adjacent to the arrivalshall requirements at the same level as the runway
