A Passenger Boarding Bridge Operator (PBB) (also known as an air bridge, jet bridge, jetway) will help passengers to embark and disembark an aircraft without the requirement to go outside or be exposed to the elements. Passenger Boarding Bridges can be found in many configurations and may be fixed or movable depending on the installation. Moving passengers from the terminal to an aircraft, and from the aircraft back to the terminal, efficiently and safely, is a major objective of efficient airport operations.

Passenger Boarding Bridges Operators mobilize the unit during aircraft arrival and departure; once the aircraft is parked and secure, the operator maneuvers the unit to come in contact with the aircraft at the desired boarding door. These units are height‑adjustable to allow use with multiple aircraft types.
