After months of delays, Dubrovnik Airport has finally put its two air bridges to use, thus becoming the first Croatian airport to do so. A Go2Sky Boeing 737-400 had the honour of becoming the first aircraft to use the jet bridges. The two air bridges were installed back in December last year. They are valued at 1.1 million euros and have been produced by China’s CIMC Company. The addition of air bridges, which connect the terminal building with parked aircraft, will generate additional revenue for Dubrovnik Airport as airlines are charged for their use.
Way to go!
ReplyDelete757-200 is the max size for these positions,
ReplyDeletetoday first time a Thomson 757 was at the air bridge
no B787 can also fit in, A330/A350 should fit in nicely as well. Although only one position will be for wide body aircraft. Currently there are only 2 operational air bridges, by 2019 there'll be 4.
DeleteAs things go, airport might need a lot more soon after, perhaps adding 4 more would be a wise thing, knocking down luggage sorting facility will be a priority once expansion does happen.
Sarajevo and Belgrade were only airports in Yugoslavia to have air bridges
ReplyDeleteU mean in former yougoslavia.
DeleteAnd no, this isn't accurate information.
Skopje has 6
Pristina has 3 with 2 more to be added at later date
Dubrovnik has 2 atm with 2 more to be added once new terminal is completed
Ljubljana has 4 and plans for new terminal with 4 more.
Zagreb will have 8 and eater phase 2, 16 PBB
Split airport - planned new terminal with 4 PBBs
Sarajevo has only 2 and Belgrade after final phase around 20, 10 right now.
Anyhow, nice trolling from you.
