Goodbye to Airbridge 001....

Sadly all good things must come to an end, In November we removed airbridge 001 from Auckland Airport. This was the very first passenger boarding bridge built by Airport Equipment back in 1975, and has been in continual operation since then. Just imagine who might have walked down it over its 45 years in service.

The good news it that it was replaced with a brand new bridge featuring all the latest advantages an Airport Equipment/JBT Jetway bridge offers - including intellidock (automatic bridge docking), Intelligate (monitoring and management system), and the new JBT SJX preconditioned air unit.

Bula from Fiji!

After 35 years service it is time for Fiji to replace one of its long serving apron drive boarding bridges, Airport Equipment replaced the airbridge they originally built and installed back in 1985 with a new top of the line model and provide remote support through our integrated software system. At Airport Equipment we understand it is not just about the product alone - the service and support has to match.
