Passenger Boarding Bridges

Australasia’s only Passenger Boarding Bridge manufacturer

Since 1974, Airport Equipment has manufactured Jetway® Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs) under license to Oshkosh AeroTech.

We have designed, installed and maintained over 350 PBBs at airports throughout the South Pacific.

Every type of PBB we make can service all operating commercial aircraft.
