Welcome back to Spartika Games! In Episode 14 of Terminal One, we dive deep into the ongoing challenge of optimizing passenger transfer times at our massive airport. Despite adding travelators, lounges, cafes, restaurants, and other airport services, passengers still struggle to move efficiently from plane to plane. This episode focuses on experimentation with terminal layouts, gate services, and passenger flow patterns to see what really makes a difference.
We start on Day 98, examining the average service times for flights, luggage transfers, crew changes, and fuel operations. Passenger transfer times are consistently high, sometimes exceeding six minutes per flight, causing delays and inefficiencies. We explore how terminal variety, proximity of key services, and strategic placement of bars, cafes, restaurants, smoking lounges, gardens, and pharmacies can affect these times. Adjustments to service range and gate proximity reveal that placement matters more than expected.
Throughout the episode, we also monitor financial performance and environmental concerns, balancing revenue generation with carbon penalties. The introduction of solar farms, careful placement of metro stations, and consideration of baggage handling flow further complicate the strategy. Even small details, like restroom placement or travelator use, significantly influence how passengers navigate the terminal. Observing foot traffic and optimizing pathways becomes key to improving operational efficiency.
This episode highlights the complexity of airport management simulation, showing that improving one metric often affects another. Viewers will learn about trial-and-error methods, strategic service placement, and detailed observation required to reduce passenger transfer times while maintaining profitability and operational flow.
