New airbridges for Dublin's T2

Chicago based JBT Corporation announced today that it had been awarded a contract by the Dublin Airport Authority to supply nineteen airbridges for Dublin's T2. The project when completed will allow aircraft types from regional jets up to A340/B747-400 to be handled at the new terminal. Nearly half the air bridges will be configured to 'Multiple Aircraft Ramp System' (MARS) which allows for two airbridges to service a wide body or two narrow body aircraft at the same gate. The value of the contract is not stated in the press release.
