The concept of a passenger boarding bridge is typically attributed to a hanging, moveable tunnel that connects an airport to an aircraft. This bridge allows passengers to securely go from the airport terminal to the aircraft while also sheltering them from the elements. The primary goal of the passenger boarding bridge is to make it as easy as possible for passengers to get from the airport terminal to the aircraft. Modern approaches, such as movable units, are employed to move the passenger boarding bridge from one terminal end to the other more quickly. These units may be adjusted in height and can be utilized by various aircraft. For instance, in 2019, ADELTE relaunched Apronaut, the first software-based passenger boarding bridge (PBB) docking simulator in the world, to offer rigorous training in a nil-risk environment for PBB operators. This PBB docking simulator enables staff to practice, dock, activate, and dock on all types of aircraft repeatedly.
