Flow - Airport Terminal Planning

Smarter Terminal Capacity Planning from Curb to Gate

AVIAS FLOW is a comprehensive, spatial demand and capacity planning application designed specifically for airport terminals. From curbside check-in to gate hold areas, FLOW delivers detailed insight into infrastructure needs and level-of-service performance across all components of the terminal environment.

Built on Industry Standards

What sets FLOW apart is its integration of industry standards and planning guidelines from leading authorities including the FAA, TRB/ACRP, TSA, CBP, IATA, ICAO, and ADA. These references are seamlessly embedded into the application’s engine—no need to manually cross-reference spreadsheets or PDFs.

Intuitive Interface, Immediate Results

Say goodbye to sprawling, error-prone spreadsheets. FLOW uses a flow-based, graphical user interface (GUI) designed for planners, by planners. Users can quickly assess time-based scenarios, analyze future activity levels, model planning triggers, and instantly see results - no complex coding or manual recalculations required.

Powerful Scenario Planning

Whether you’re assessing the impact of aircraft fleet changes, up-gauging of aircraft types, or adding new demand, FLOW delivers immediate clarity:

• Determine gate and holdroom requirements
• Identify restroom and concession space needs
• Evaluate TSA checkpoint lanes and queue areas
• Test scenarios against Level of Service (LOS) targets using our stoplight-style optimization matrix

Insight-Driven, Planning Ready

FLOW enables airport operators and planners to make confident, data-driven decisions about terminal development and space allocation. With its real-time analysis capabilities, FLOW answers the “what if” questions in seconds—empowering faster, smarter terminal planning from day one.
