Global Passenger Boarding Bridges Market Overview

Passenger Boarding Bridges Market Size is Anticipeted to Reach at USD 585.10 Million by 2030, and at a 11.8% CAGR by 2024-2032

passenger boarding bridges are the pathway for a passenger to enter the aircraft from the airport. The passenger boarding bridges are also called air bridge, jetway, jet bridge, and sky bridge. These bridges can be movable or fixed and can be hydraulic or electro-mechanical. The design of passenger boarding bridges varies according to the aircraft and application.

Market Synopsis

Global Passenger Boarding Bridges Market has registered high growth over the past few years owing to the increasing passenger traffic and a significant increase in demand for new aircraft and stringent aviation regulations related to safety. Moreover, due to the increasing development of greenfield and brownfield airports are some factors driving the growth of the market. However, the high durability of passenger boarding bridges is expected to hinder the market growth. Increase in the need for efficient passenger handling systems is market USP

Market Drivers

Increasing Passenger Traffic and Significant Increase in Demand for New Aircraft: Globally, air passenger traffic has been increasing rapidly over the last few years. Factors such as decreasing airfares, increasing per capita disposable incomes, especially in developing countries, and higher living standards have influenced this growth. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global air travel is likely to double by 2036. To cater to the rising number of passengers, there has been a corresponding increase in the demand for new aircraft. This is also expected to drive the growth of the passenger boarding bridges market in the review period.Stringent Aviation Regulations Related to SafetyIncreasing Development of Greenfield and Brownfield Airports

Recent News:

In 2019, Wellington Airport in New Zealand implemented a completely automated aerobridge docking system to speed up passenger boarding and disembarking from aircraft. The aerobridge has been installed at one of the airport's domestic gates, making it the world's first aerodrome to implement this technology. Wellington-based Airport Equipment created the Intellidock system, an automated aerobridge. When an airplane is parked at its designated gate, the bridge sensor scans the aircraft door and automatically moves and locks the Intellidock system into position.

In 2022, the first autonomous boarding bridge in Asia was officially placed into service at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport in southwest China, marking a milestone in the intelligent upgrading Chinese civil aviation industry. The boarding bridge was built by Shenzhen-based CIMC Tianda Holding Co Ltd (CIMC-Tianda), a subsidiary of China's premier container and energy equipment producer, China International Marine Containers (Group) Ltd. The sophisticated equipment includes an innovative cabin door identification and positioning system that can rapidly transfer data to the artificial intelligence-based autonomous control system.
