Design studio Büro für MEHR has created a drive through concept for an airport passenger terminal that could change the way airports process traffic
"The idea is simple: Instead of moving the passengers to the aircraft, the airplanes move to the passengers, minimizing walking distances and reducing the footprint of the airport drastically," says Büro für MEHR

Amsterdam and Vienna-based design studio Büro für MEHR has created a drive through concept for an airport passenger terminal that could change the way airports process traffic. The concept offers a significant reduction of the size of an airport’s layout to simplify ground traffic and significantly reduce its environmental impact. It is anticipated that within next decade aviation traffic could almost double, with many airports already struggling to facilitate increased demand. The Drive Through Airport concept has been designed with future logistics in mind, while simply presenting an idea that raises the question, why hasn’t anyone done this before?
