Munich takes off: Innovative passenger boarding bridge revolutionizes Terminal 2!
Technological revolution at Munich Airport!
Flughafen München GmbH (FMG) is taking big steps into the future! Together with the Lufthansa Group and the Terminal 2 Company (T2), technological innovation is being taken to a new level. A groundbreaking remote-controlled passenger boarding bridge (FGB) that could revolutionize airport operations has been being tested since mid-October. In an exciting six-month pilot phase, the possibilities of this new technology will be tested under realistic conditions, including weather and obstacles. The goal? All passenger boarding bridges will soon be equipped with this innovative control system!
The testing phase is already in full swing! The passenger boarding bridge is controlled from a container that serves as a temporary control center. Initially, the test runs will be carried out on a mock aircraft, and the successful start of a test run with the Spanish specialist DIMAIM shows that progress in this area is promising. But that's not all! Another exciting project is the introduction of an unloading aid in the baggage handling system in Terminal 2. This new technology will make the handling of luggage and transported goods significantly more efficient and drastically reduce the physical effort for employees.
