Our Terminal Passenger Behaviour Modelling Tool, as explained on our last blog has given us a fascinating insight into airports. We often call them little cities, and this simulation has shown us just how similar they are. We can now gain far more detail into knowing where passengers are and what they are doing, at any given time. This helps us, and our clients, when considering capacity and demand forecasting.
Ever wondered how useful would it be in understand the footfall in your airport? To know where your passengers are at any given moment, 24/7? To understand their behaviour, their movements, and how to place your food and retail concessions to get maximum revenue?
We were asked a short time ago to provide a simulation of every terminal at Heathrow with the objective to determine how many premium buggies could operate within the terminals at any given time.
In the second of our series of What, Why, How, When and Where blogs, we explore Airport Demand Forecasting, another one of our key services. …Continue reading…

Welcome to the next in our series of posts ‘Meet our AiQ Team’. This week we would like to introduce you to Adrian Todd, one of our directors. Adrian is responsible for overseeing the business and leading our very talented team, both working on the ground at our airports, and behind the scenes.
What is a typical day like at AiQ?
As part of a joint submission under GTA, supported by both ourselves and Airport Design Consult Ltd, we were very pleased to be awarded the contract to augment the capacity of Passenger Terminal Building of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA).
This project explores how the existing terminal can be upgraded to provide additional capacity, develop measures to increase capacity on a short-term basis and assess the capacity of the existing baggage handling system, determining what additional capacity is needed.
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is presently owned, operated and maintained by GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL).
In our series of blogs ‘Meet our Team’, we talk to Rachel Mannering, our Management Accountant about her role with AiQ. …Continue reading…

One of the highlights of our days is the walkabout – taking time to travel around the airports we work in to collect data, view airside layout changes and take time to talk to stakeholders.
We do official ‘walkabout’s (surveys) of Heathrow once every quarter – This is where we assess the whole of the airport to see what has changed and collect relevant data. It may be that car parking allocations have altered, a temporary building has been erected or a construction project has taken some land – this may cause problems if we have targeted this space as possible land to solve a capacity problem!
Are you looking for airport consultants or airport capacity planners who can cost effectively deliver and work efficiently with your team?
We are happy to provide our services to other Consultancies where they lack the resource, specific knowledge or the tools to get the job done quickly and efficiently. This includes multi discipline engineer consultants and project managers working in the aviation industry, amongst others.
We have many years experience in working with airport consultant’s engineers and project managers, solving airport capacity problems quickly and innovatively.
What are the benefits in working with AiQ?
