The aim of this research is to improve the current transfer passenger process at KEF by using the methodology of business process management. The current status of transfer passenger process at KEF was observed and analyzed and suggestions for improvements were presented. Few of the suggestions for improvements were then implemented and the performance measured used in this research before and after implementation was the total transfer passenger time at KEF from arrival to departure. The majority of issues in the current process could be linked to methods performed by the airport or airlines as well as material, mainly the airport facilities. The results of this research were the total transfer time measured before and after improvements made to the process. The expected impact from this research and improvement recommendations is a better overview of the complete transfer passenger process at KEF and more efficient transfer operation at KEF.
