Idea
While global air traffic is growing rapidly the airport infrastructure on ground is struggling to keep up with the fast increasing demand for passenger capacities. New airports are being built all over the world, and already existing, unused infrastructure such as inoperative airfields or former military airbases - often located near major urban clusters and cities - are being activated and opened for civil aviation. Airside facilities are often available while appropriate passenger handling facilities are sought after.
In addition, many airports around the globe struggle with capacity shortages due to terminal renovations, the building of new terminals, seasonality, or major events in their catchment area that ask for temporarily increased passenger capacities. In most cases it is financially risky and unprofitable to meet these demands through the building of new fixed terminals. Hence, airports and airport operators tend to resort to temporary terminal facilities.
Concept
The terminal concept of TMT The Mobile Terminal® was developed to especially meet these demands quickly and flexibly. TMT™'s temporary terminal solutions are mobile, quick to install and can be reused repeatedly in changing locations. The focus of the concept lies on the essential functions of a passenger terminal and on the highest possible efficiency regarding terminal construction and operation. It combines mobility and modularity with efficiency and a high product quality. Through its vast network of aviation and airport specialists, TMT™ optionally also provides all necessary solutions and services in order to start the operation of its terminal facilities, such as capacity planning, operational concepts, training, IT integration and more.
The know-how derived from the development of the TMT™ solution is also applied to the provision of off-site check-in facilities.
Vision
TMT™'s ambition is
>>> to provide infrastructure quickly and easily whenever and wherever it is needed
