Overview

• Trial operations begin in early November 2025 and will run over several months at the new Terminal 1 pier.
• The exercises will test end-to-end processes from check-in and security screening to boarding, transfers and baggage handling, with participants not actually flying.
• Volunteers receive individual role scripts for each test day to recreate realistic passenger journeys and operational scenarios.
• Participation is unpaid and requires online registration, a full test-day commitment, normal physical fitness, and a minimum age of 18.
• The pier is designed to handle up to six widebody jets or twelve smaller aircraft and roughly six million passengers a year, a step the airport presents as risk reduction after recent operational disruptions.
