Abstract

See full text

A method for aligning an aircraft-engaging end of a passenger boarding bridge to a doorway of an aircraft includes waiting for the aircraft to park within a parking space that is adjacent to the passenger boarding bridge. A determination is made of a status of the aircraft doorway, wherein the status is indicative of a door panel being either closed or open. In dependence upon the determined status being indicative of the door panel being open, an alignment operation is performed for adjusting the aircraft engaging-end of the passenger boarding bridge into an aligned relationship relative to the aircraft doorway.
