How placemaking in airport interiors can enhance passenger experience, create engagement and boost retail

The airport industry took a hit during the pandemic. But we also learnt a lot; namely that flexibility and being able to act fast is crucial – for the safety of the passengers.

The airport industry took a hit during the pandemic. But we also learnt a lot. We learnt that flexibility and being able to act fast is crucial – for the safety of the passengers. A challenge for airports is the downtime that is required when refurbishing and making changes. How can we do this without shutting down business? After working with airports, airport management and passenger experience for years, we feel confident in being a trusted partner and delivering this kind of unique and placemaking transformation overnight.

We’ve also seen how airport retail struggled and are still struggling to get back to comfortable levels. How can we get people to feel safe and confident again when flying and deliver a world class passenger experience? Let us make the airport visit a part of the journey, not just a place to pass through on the way to the destination. If we can manage passenger safety and flow, with modular and placemaking solutions, we can guide people intuitively and safe and create an environment where they can relax, unwind, and enjoy.
We know that, when we feel good and relaxed, we tend to do more enjoyable things like eat more, shop more or just read a book while waiting for your flight.

We call this the retail effect: Enhanced passenger satisfaction -> increased dwell time -> increased revenue.

Key learning points:

  •  How can the right airport design create a safe and enhanced passenger experience?
  • Find out how you can transform your airport overnight with no down time
  • Learn how to optimize airport retail by changing the airport design
  • Get ideas and tips of how to design with modular seating to control people flow and create a safe airport visit
  • Get a chance to learn from industry expert and ask them questions.
