Bukaka Glass-Tunnel Apron Drive PBB
ASEAN-price glass-walled apron-drive PBB.
Bukaka's glass-tunnel apron-drive PBB is the Indonesian manufacturer's flagship and accounts for the majority of its nearly 700 installed units across Asia. The bridge offers a fully glazed tunnel — a visual-premium feature usually associated with European OEMs — at significantly lower Chinese/Indonesian-manufactured pricing. Supplied to Terminal 3 at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International in a 44-bridge block. Designed for tropical climates with high humidity, the Gulf-spec option adds upgraded HVAC for +55°C apron service.
