ADELTE Airport Technologies   has been awarded a contract by the Autonomous Executive Port Commission (CEPA) to design, manufacture and

install three passenger boarding bridges (PBB) at El Salvador’s main airport .

Situated 50 km from the capital San Salvador, Comalapa International Airport receives around two million passengers each year and is currently

investing close to US$70m (?45.8m) in the refurbishment and modernisation of its facilities.

The PBBs, which were designed by ADELTE in its engineering centre in Barcelona, Spain and will be manufactured in their facilities in Monz?n,

Spain, will greatly improve docking, passenger embarkation and disembarkation and maintenance operations.

The design of the Apron Drive PBBs consists of two crescent sections and steel tunnels, and an electro-mechanical mechanism will be used

for traction and lifting. They will serve a wide range of aircraft, adapting to the current and future needs of airlines operating at the airport.

“ADELTE’s bridges incorporate the most advanced innovations and technologies, ensuring total safety for both passengers and operators,”

commented Xavier Bartomeu, sales manager for Central and South America.
