Over The Wing Bridge for B737 and Airbus 319-321

This patented Over The Wing bridge (OTW) dramatically reduces turnaround time for some of the world's most popular aircraft types, B737 and Airbus 319-321. The Dual Boarding Bridge System provides passengers with excellent and speedy boarding and disembarking. The OTW is fully automatic and does not require any additional bridge operator.

 

Cutting time and costs of aircraft parking time

Every saved minute is of great importance to the airlines. In economic terms, every saved minute of a turnaround saves about USD 1 million a year per aircraft. Efficient aircraft ground handling helps airlines to fly on schedule. Delay times in Europe average between 15 and 60 minutes for each departure. FMT's Passenger Boarding Bridge System can help cut these delays considerably. With the new FMT Dual Boarding Bridge System, it takes less than a minute to connect both bridges to the aircraft, and 3-4 minutes for all passengers to disembark the aircraft.

 

Advanced Technique:

The OTW is controlled by an advanced computer and sensor technique, making the connection to the aircraft fully automatic.

The OTW is equipped with an advanced safety system to secure required safety margins and is built according to NFPA 415.

A back-up system for manoeuvering the OTW in the event of power failure is standard.
