facility, food & drinks, sleeping pods, newspaper and magazines etc.
 Catchment area: In this area, a large number of people stay here. From
this area, people have 2hour approximately to move to the airport by
bus, train, and car. This area is of great importance to the airports as
well as to the airlines. Approximately 2.5 million people are there in the
RIX catchment area.

to another one. Since a lot of passenger travels to different country and
their currency will not be valid in another country, foreign exchange
stores at the airport helps you to change your currency into another
currency.

assistance like ramp access to the airport, special kind of toilet and

the aircrafts.
2. Explain how airport facilities, Terminal Block and transport units (Land side
&Air side) are monitor to identify inappropriate behavior.
Inappropriate behavior are the behavior which deviates from the ideal
behavior and indulging in shouting, annoying other people, threatening,
offensive behavior etc. People breaking the Queue, passengers fighting
among themselves, passengers trying to smuggle banned items inside the
airport are some examples of inappropriate behavior. Even there is a looming
threat of terrorism on the airline sectors.
Last year a person hit the policemen in one of the airport. These unruly
behavior by the passengers or even staff creates a negative effect on other
flyers (Zhang and Lu, 2017). Since airports are already high security zone, it
is very easy to monitor the inappropriate behavior at facilities, terminal block
as well as in transport units. Following measures are taken to monitor the
inappropriate behavior-
 Police force dedicated for the airport security. They are deployed both
in the land side as well as air side to check the inappropriate behavior
inside the airport or outside it.
 Deploying security guards to set up the roadblocks before the airport
and inspecting the vehicles and luggage.
 Police dog unit deployed in the airport for explosive and drug detection.
