Abstract :Air transportation delays due to weather conditions, failure of transportation vehicles and flight density on special days cause the passenger capacity of the airport to be exceeded and the lack of common areas. The existing waiting areas at the airports are not comfortable enough for long-term expectations and can disturb the individuals ergonomically. In this study, a low volume ergonomic waiting unit was designed with a hexagonal structure, inspired by honeycomb model. The planning of the waiting unit in the modular system enables the number of units to be increased according to the need and the ease of installation.
