Process diagrams often look quite tricky, but can are actually rather easy to describe.
Introduction and Overview
Like ALL Task One Writing Tasks, you should start with an INTRODUCTION and an OVERVIEW.
Body
When you plan, see if you can break the diagram into sections. Here there are two clear halves - ARRIVALS and DEPARTURES - so write a paragraph on each. Start at the beginning of each half (the CONCOURSE for DEPARTURES and the AIRCRAFT for ARRIVALS). Write two or three sentences for each "half" describing as many of the steps as possible (you can mention more than one step in each sentence).
There are also three other details to mention, LUGGAGE SCAN, TRANSIT LOUNGE, and ACCESS TO OTHER TERMINALS. Also try to to mention the route taken by the luggage.
Grammar
Make sure you have a variety of grammar. Often with process diagrams you can include a mix of PASSIVE and ACTIVE sentences.
PASSIVE
Once they have been checked in, the passengers enter passport control where their documents are checked by immigration officers.
ACTIVE
After they leave the departure lounge and clear the gate, the passengers board the aircraft.
Cohesive Devices
Make sure you use plenty of connective language that shows the order of the steps.
first/initially before after when next then finally

You don't need to write a conclusion in Task One.
