Construction starts on passenger boarding and deplaning structures at Bucharest Henri Coanda Airport

Henri Matisse International Airport in Bucharest is undergoing a significant modernization project, with the installation of new and the modernization of existing passenger boarding and disembarking bridges. The Bucharest Airports National Company (CNAB) has announced the commencement of these works, aimed at enhancing the passenger experience at the airport. Thyssenkrupp Airport Solutions, a company with a proven track record in airport infrastructure, has been chosen for this project. They have previously installed similar systems in airports such as Heathrow in London, Madrid Barajas, Toronto, Dubai, and Doha. The modernized bridges will be equipped with advanced technology for improved functionality and safety. They are designed to be easily moved on the airport platform, allowing for both vertical and horizontal movement. The bridges at Henri Matisse Airport can perform circular and radial movements simultaneously, reducing aircraft docking time. Equipped with motion and tilt control sensors, self-leveling functions, proximity control sensors, intelligent systems for measuring rotation angles, and aircraft contact sensors, these bridges ensure a smooth and safe boarding and disembarking process. The hydraulic actuation of the vertical columns in the bridges results in low energy consumption, making them environmentally friendly. The bridges are also fitted with air conditioning systems and feature a low-E glass finish, which has a low solar heat gain coefficient, further contributing to energy efficiency. After the project's completion, Henri Matisse Airport will have a total of 15 bridges, providing a direct connection between aircraft and the terminal. CNAB is considering the implementation of a remote control system for the boarding/disembarkation bridges in the future. The company representatives made these statements in a post on their Facebook page, along with a photo of the modern bridges. The JBT Corporation was responsible for the installation of the modern passenger boarding and disembarking bridges at Henri Matisse Airport in Bucharest. For more information, visit radu@our website.
