PART A: STRUCTURE QUESTIONS (22 MARKS)
- The encouragement of the private sector to be involved in managing and operating terminals is a common practice and well known in most countries, but it’s constrained by government regulations and other business environment conditions. Write a consultation report evaluating the benefits for the country of allowing increasing private sector participation in the port terminal industry. Not less than 70 words. (5 Marks)
- Terminal Services, including any processes that occur at or within a terminal building such as checking in with or without baggage, domestic arrivals, bag claim, these are the most common terminals services. Please write three suggestions ideas with a short explanation for having more value-added service (come up with new and innovative ideas)? (3 Marks)
- The main function of a terminal is to handle and tranship freight or passengers since modes are physically separated. They have a nominal capacity, which is related to the amount of land they occupy and their level of technological, labor, and managerial intensity. Discuss how alignment can be managed between all of these factors? (3 Marks)
- Using an airport of your choiceand identify relevant procedures, regulations, and policies in place to assist the airport in addressing risks. (3Marks)
- The efficiency of a terminal can be calculated through several indicators known as productivity measures.? Identify productivity standards used, if any, in the various major areas of port terminal operations. ( (3Marks)
- What would be your opinion if you have been asked about choosing the best Railway terminal operating system? (2 Marks)
- Do you agree with the following statement and Justify your answer “ICD is important while exporting cargo from Landlocked countries to the world market.” In not less than 40words. (3 Marks)
PART B: CASE STUDY (8 MARKS)
The Parisian airports handled in 1995 over 50 million passengers. In 2000 that number increased to 73.5 million: 48.1 million by CDG and 25,4 million by Orly. This means a global annual growth of 6.1%, with a growing rate of 11.4% at CDG and a negative rate at Orly. This allowed ADP to remain among the first six airports operators of the world in terms of number of passengers. Cargo movements in Paris represent only around 5% of the total. This increase in traffic was due partially to the dynamism of the airlines, specially Air France as the main carrier in France and representing approximately half of the traffic of the Paris region. Air France made of CDG -Terminal 2 its main platform during this period. By setting up in particular the infrastructures necessary. In 2001 we observed a decrease in the traffic levels of around 3.5 %, CDG falling 0.6 % and Orly 9,6%.
This was due to the attacks of September 11, 2001 and to the financial problems of a national carrier: Air Liberté. As the reader is surely aware, to anticipate and forecast the traffic demand –and therefore the demand of airport services-in the long run is a very difficult but fundamental exercise to plan on issues related to an airport capacity. The existing forecast analyses for the region show an increase in the traffic during the upcoming years, although with a much smaller growth rate than the one we observed during the 1990 ́s.
The traffic level for the Paris region might grow up to around 100 million passengers in 2010 and approximately 130 million passengers in 2020 (CDG and Orly), assuming that there are no limits in the airports capacity. However, the infrastructure development of ADP is restricted by physical (capacity of the runways and air terminals), financial, and environmental constraints and regulation.
The maximum (or saturation) capacity of the landside (terminal buildings) is not easy to estimate, especially because this measure only makes sense when it is done with respect to a certain level of service (length of queues, number of passengers per square meter). Considering a “normal” level of quality – according to international standards-and the current distribution of traffic in time, the capacity of CDG without Terminal 2E is around 44 million passengers in 2001.
With the actual traffic level of 48 million passengers, the quality at CDG was somehow degraded, especially in air terminal CDG1. With the opening of the terminal E, the “normal” level of service capacity of CDG was intended to be around 55 million in 2005.
- CDG: Charles De Gaulle International airport
- ADP: Aéroports de Paris / (Paris Airports)
Questions
- Please give an introduction and overview of the airport services future (Cargo and passengers) drivers and trends affecting airport services demand. (3 Marks)
- Its not easy to forecast demand of airport services (passengers (what are the suggestions or solutions(give three at least) for demand increasing? (3 Marks)
- What developments do you think are particularly significant for passengers service quality in this case? Figure out four area of development (2 Marks)
