Dabico FMT T-Bridge
T-shaped fixed-pedestal PBB for narrow stands and legacy piers.
The T-Bridge is Dabico FMT's fixed-pedestal (non apron-drive) PBB, using a T-shaped layout where a short tunnel extends perpendicular from a pier into an aircraft door. Typical use cases are narrow contact stands, legacy terminals where column placement rules out a drive wheel, and retrofits of 30+ year old terminals where the apron cannot take new pedestal loads. T-Bridges are popular at VIP / royal terminals because they occupy a fixed, discrete footprint and are easy to skirt visually.
