You’re invited to help us test Bermuda’s new state-of-the-art airport terminal.
Join us for our ORAT (Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer) trials because we need your help to get the new terminal ready.
During trials, we execute and examine the planned operations of the new airport terminal in a simulated environment.
We invite you to contribute towards an incredible moment in Bermuda’s aviation history; the opening of our new airport terminal.
You can help us by acting as a real passenger with a booking on a staged flight; starting at check-in leading to boarding, then simulating the arrivals process. Not only would you get a sneak peek of the new terminal to have an early grasp of its layout and function, but you will also be treated for your participation too!
Car – The short term car park in front of the new terminal building will be available for use, free of charge.
Bike – The short term bike park in front of the new terminal building will be available for use, free of charge.
Bus – We are advising participants to get off the bus at the nearest bus stop to the new terminal building.
What to bring: Your passport and confirmation page; proof of registration and identification will be requested.
Note – Please arrive on time, otherwise your participation cannot be guaranteed.
Upon arrival at the new terminal, you will be registered and assigned your trial role by our support staff. At that time, you will also receive all the necessary materials required to fulfill your role. Afterward, you will be briefed on the trial operation, then escorted to your starting point.
Trial operations will consist of a passenger departure and arrival flow.
Based on the preparation, some passengers will be asked to play certain roles.
Some examples may include:
After the trial, a light lunch/dinner and gift bag will be provided for your participation.
Note - The above timeline is valid for majority of the trial days, however due to other ongoing activities short notices regarding changes might be necessary. In such cases we will contact you at our earliest convenience to inform you about the changes made. Furthermore, special trials such as the evacuation exercise or the night trial will follow a different timeline which will be communicated to you post registration.
Signing up to participate is easy! Just pick a date and fill out the registration form below. You must be 18 years+ to participate.
