Jet bridges are a critical part of terminal infrastructure today, connecting the terminal directly to the aircraft. These obviously allow much faster boarding and turnaround for airlines and convenience for passengers. Jet bridges have also been made larger and doubled up to handle newer wide-body aircraft. Many airports have had to build new jet bridges and change gate areas to handle the aircraft.
Since 2018, automatic jet bridges have been introduced at a few airports. These use a range of sensors and cameras to align and dock with the aircraft automatically.
