Ownership[edit]

How often are airport terminals owned (and in some cases, also operated) by the airline companies using the terminals as their hubs? Is it usual for city or local governments to ask airline companies to invest to the construction of new terminals? Umofomo (talk) 00:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Umofomo: In the US, airport terminals are almost always owned by county and municipal authorities. These airports then lease gates to airlines and those airlines are granted sole use of them, according to Gates, terminals, fees, and the business of airports. Hopefully this answers your question, and sorry for the 6-year delay in answering this.

Transportation within the terminal for mobility-impaired passengers[edit]

I came to this article hoping to find the name of those little two or four passenger open "busses" that take mobility-impaired passengers to the boarding gate. But answer came there none. Anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.11.54 (talk) 18:16, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Berlin Tegel[edit]

The article claims that there was no provision for airside transit at Berlin Tegel airport. There was a connecting walkway on a mezzanine level above the check-in-counters, similar to the earlier Terminal 1 at Cologne/Bonn, although neither was stepfree. Many terminals with decentralised check in had similar connecting corridors, often with access to duty free shops or toilets in obscure locations. 212.202.43.183 (talk) 15:36, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
