Germany's Munich Airport and Dabico Airport Solutions have signed a Letter of Intent to develop autonomous passenger boarding bridges.
 
"With this pioneering project, we aim to reduce the duration of docking and undocking operations for passenger boarding bridges, thereby increasing the operational reliability and efficiency of our handling processes," said Jost Lammers, ceo of Munich Airport.
 
The development of the autonomous passenger boarding bridges is part of a digitalisation strategy at Munich Airport that encompasses operational, commercial and above all, passenger-friendly processes and technologies. 
 
Among the measures already in place are biometric boarding pass checks, biometric access to gates and lounges, so-called ‘smart trolleys’ for navigation, flight information and shopping offers, chatbots for passenger inquiries, self-checkout kiosks, self-order terminals in restaurants, sensor technology for calculating waiting times at security checkpoints and robotic projects for ground handling services as well as the use of robots for cleaning in Terminal 2 and the satellite.
