Passenger Boarding Bridge System Components
​
Our engineers will design and deliver a Boarding Bridge manufactured to your specific needs, choosing the right size configuration, the drive system, the elevation type (hydraulic or electro-mechanical), a two or three body configuration, the most efficient air conditioning system and other design features, such as glass or steel tunnels, increasing or decreasing telescope extension or GSE integration. The result is a highly durable Passenger Boarding Bridge capable of providing a long-lasting service at your airport.
ADELTE’s custom-built PBBs are able to cover all required airport apron configurations.
The PBBs allow safe, secure and easy docking operations and deliver easy and comfortable access for all passengers.

Most common Airport Passenger Boarding Bridges
​
Apron Drive Bridges
A380 Apron Drive Bridges
The most flexible and popular telescopic Passenger
Boarding Bridges worldwide, allowing a variety of
docking heights and ample movements thanks to
adjustable handling and lifting mechanism.
A telescopic Passenger Boarding Bridges with the
same characteristics as the Apron Drive but able to
reach a height of 8m. Specially designed for the
Airbus A380.
Passenger Boarding Bridge Specifications
Low operation costs
Elevation and travel systems are designed and engineered to offer maximum energy efficiency. The Passenger Boarding Bridge structure is prepared to receive ground support equipment such as PCA and GPU which deliver preconditioned air and electricity to stationed aircraft, dramatically reducing its energy consumption.
Direct access maintenance design
Maintenance is a key factor for keeping Boarding Bridges in optimum operating condition. Thanks to our unique direct access design, all major components can be reached easily to allow maintenance tasks to be carried out quickly.
Superior product quality and reliability
Our Passenger Boarding Bridges offer a stronger and more lightweight structure made of high-quality steel which ensures the best protection against corrosion. All materials are tested and the manufacturing process is certified in order to guarantee excellent durability.
Tailor made to clients' needs
Our engineers will design and deliver a Boarding Bridge manufactured to your specific needs, choosing the right size configuration, the drive system, the elevation type (hydraulic or electro-mechanical), a two or three body configuration, the most efficient air conditioning system and other design features, such as glass or steel tunnels, increasing or decreasing telescope extension or GSE integration. The result is a highly durable Passenger Boarding Bridge capable of providing a long-lasting service at your airport.
Fast, precise, and secure docking maneuvers
ADELTE's Passenger Boarding Bridges are equipped with the latest Cabin and PLC technologies and offer a complete and reliable safety system. Multiple sensors, point-and-go technology, and our fully automated docking system make docking operations simple and successful, preventing any risk for the aircraft or operator on the apron.
Outstanding safety and comfort for passengers
We strongly believe that the moment passenger enters one of our advanced boarding bridges they begin their journey. Therefore design and successful technical conception are vital, incorporating aspects such as innovative use of natural lighting, significant thermal and acoustic insulation, non-slip flooring, efficient air-conditioning solutions, and comfortable gradient, all of which make a qualitative difference to a passengers perception of the service provided by an airport or airline.
