To achieve this, we investigate the unique traits of airports and implement a virtual crowd by exploiting a scalable layered intelligence technique in combination with physics middleware and a social-forces approach. Our experiments show that the framework runs at interactive frame-rate and evaluate the scalability with increasing number of agents demonstrating navigation behaviour. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{multi agent modelling; pedestrian crowd simulation; game technology; game AI; physics middleware; airport simulation} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-22000-5\_54} \end
