“The use of teletraps increases the comfort of passengers when boarding and landing on board the aircraft by reducing the time of transition to the terminal building without access to the platform,” explained Andrei Zemlyakov, director for capital construction of the holding.
As noted in the holding, telescopic ladders purchased for the Kamchatka airport are compatible with all types of narrow- and wide-body aircraft planned for operation. They are equipped with an anti-slip floor covering, as well as heating and air conditioning systems that allow comfortable temperature for passengers inside the corridor at any time of the year. Also the manufacturer undertakes to take into account the complex seismic conditions of the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky airport.
Let’s add, the use of teletraps is a widespread practice in many airports in Russia and the world. Their application allows not only to increase the comfort of travelers, but also reduces the time of aircraft maintenance between flights.
