Jet Bridges / Passenger Boarding Bridges installations at Kuwait International Airport (KWI)
Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs) are the telescopic, apron-drive or fixed bridges that connect terminal gates to the aircraft L1/L2 door. A typical wide-body gate needs 1-2 PBBs (A380 upper deck adds a third) plus a Visual Docking Guidance System, 400 Hz ground power, PCA feed and potable water. Suppliers deliver the bridge, rotunda, cab, VDGS and the integrated utility systems, plus 20-year maintenance and refurb programmes. Airports replace or refurbish PBBs on 15-20 year cycles.
Kuwait's aviation story is a study in delayed gratification. Terminal 2, a soaring Foster + Partners trefoil of concrete and glass designed in 2012 and repeatedly postponed, is finally approaching completion with a 25 mppa capacity target. In the meantime, existing terminals handled 15.7 million passengers in 2024, with Jazeera's Terminal 5 providing low-cost breathing room. The airport is poised to finally match the ambition of its Gulf neighbours.
