Based on the latest technology, the over-the-wing loading bridge enables passengers to board and deplane simultaneously from the front and rear doors on narrow-body aircraft -- effectively cutting in half the boarding and deplaning time for United customers at Gate B15 at the Denver International Airport. The airline expects to expand the use of the dual-end jet bridge to additional gates and other airports in the near future. "Using this high-tech bridge system improves our service to customers by speeding the time it takes them to get on and off our planes," said Alex Marren, United's vice president of Operational Services, United Express and Ted. "Our customers -- especially those in the rear of the plane -- are already telling us they love the convenience of the new bridges. Also, because we can board customers faster, we are able to eventually add more flights without adding new aircraft." The fully automated aspect of the bridge system also gives United employees more time to focus on customers as it is guided and driven completely by a computer system and does not require a person to operate it. Based on the latest technology, the system was developed by Dewbridge Airport Systems and uses a combination of artificial vision and multiple redundant sensors to find the aircraft doors and drive the front and rear bridges to their docking positions -- all without human input.
