HANDS OFF: FULLY AUTOMATED OVER-THE-WING BRIDGES DECREASE AN AIRCRAFT'S TIME ON THE GROUND AND INCREASE PASSENGER SATISFACTION

摘要

How many different types of passenger boarding bridges can there possibly be? There are apron drives, nose loaders, radiais, over-the-wing, glass, steel, corrugated and flat-sided; ones for big aircraft, small aircraft and all those in between. So what is there left to develop? (Personally I'm still waiting for a teleportation device....) The answer: a way to make bridges more useful to the customer - whether it is an airline, airport or passenger. With that in mind, Dewbridge Airport Systems introduces the DoubleDocker Gate System - a completely automated gate system that will guide the aircraft and dock two bridges with no manual initiation.
