AIRSIDE is an independent consulting company for airport and security planning applications.

The company’s experience and in-depth functional airport knowledge, combined with its architectural and building competence, allow it to provide bespoke solutions for a client’s specific needs.

AIRSIDE evaluates the strategic, functional, operational, commercial, economical and ecological aspects of projects to work out a sustainable development for airport facilities.

It partners with clients to develop new airports, expansions for existing airport facilities, and future development strategies, as well as optimise existing facilities regarding operational capacity, concessions and security projects.

AIRSIDE's involvement in the Kansai International Airport project with Renzo Piano Building Workshop initiated its success in airport projects.
The company's competition entry for the airside centre and the new check-in area at Zurich Airport was selected because of its functional logic, its implementation in existing facilities, the architectural qualities and cost-effectiveness.
The terminal expansion and the multi-level pier at Vienna Airport is a highly flexible airport building for flights to Schengen and non-Schengen countries. The complex PAX-flow meets the security standards. The project was undertaken with Ittenbrechbuehl / Baumschlager Eberle.
The new check-in area in Terminal 3 at Vienna Airport, guided by its functional aspects, offers high-architectural quality and a view of the apron.
Capacity calculation and functional layouts are based on AIRSIDE's in-depth functional airport knowledge.
The study for Shimkent Airport shows a phased development due to the capacity forecast with a stepped investment.

Consulting, planning and design services for airports

For clients’ existing buildings or new projects, AIRSIDE works as an independent planner or as a consultant to project teams during the planning process.

The company also creates an integrative solution in the concept phase as a study project, as part of a client’s project planning or on-site services.

Airport plan conception and analysis

AIRSIDE analyses a client’s facilities to define their requirements, provide programming services, develop concepts that can be implemented in long-term projects, or offer a second opinion on existing plans.

The company also integrates existing facilities under ongoing airport operation. Whatever a client’s needs, AIRSIDE is able to find a highly functional and cost-effective proposal.

Master plans, airside strategies and landside developments

AIRSIDE’s solutions leave scope for future change and incorporate ongoing consideration for the environment.

Based on a capacity calculation and the definition of your traffic strategies, the airport master plan coordinates airside and landside elements for future expansion. Apron layout, landside development and basic urban planning are defined based on rational land use and operational readiness.

Terminal planning analysis, capacity models and layout planning

AIRSIDE’s functional and architectural knowledge of airports helps it to develop terminal layouts, reconciling aviation and non-aviation functions, and using capacity models and area calculation as key elements.

The company provides balanced solutions that are sustainable, cost-effective and enable hiqh-quality operations.

Airport security planning

Airport security standards, such as Regulation (EC) No 300 / 2008, have become an integral part of airport planning. Based on the client’s operational requirements, the company works out an optimised integrated security concept for existing facilities or new projects.

AIRSIDE’s highly flexible solutions respect operational and safety aspects to enable smoother airport security processes.
