Passenger Boarding Bridges

From inspections to full-service turnkey replacement services, our core business focuses around all aspects of Passenger Boarding Bridges. We self-perform our PBB field work with full-time AERO employees who are experts within this field and who understand airside operations and airside construction. We can deliver projects of all sizes, ranging from a single gate refurbishment to large PBB replacement programs, like at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport where our 116-gate replacement was the largest PBB replacement in US history.

AERO typically procures more PBB/GSE equipment on an annual basis than any other firm across the Nation, so we offer our clients strong buying power and schedule control with PBB/GSE manufacturers. Please contact us to discuss your PBB project and we are happy to tailor our services for your project.
