An airport's terminal serves as a uniquely fundamental component of the airport system, requiring planning and management to accommodate a wide variety of aircraft and passenger types. Although fundamental operational and planning concepts apply to every airport terminal facility, there are no two airport terminals in the world that are exactly alike. As a result, specificunderstanding of the operations of a particular airport terminal facility is necessary to operate and plan for the goal of accommodating both passengers and aircraft in the most efficient and high-quality manner. Equally important to the terminal itself is the ability for passengers to access the terminal and other airport facilities from the surrounding area. Airport management has the responsibility to manage ground access systems within the airport boundary and to promote efforts to facilitate ground access throughout the airport's capture area by coordinating with the area's local governments and metropolitan planning organizations. Airport ground access is vital to the airport not only for the passengers a working system brings to the airport but also by generating revenue for the airport.
