Become an Aerobridge Operator
Darwin International Airport use passenger aerobridges on five bays of our Air Transport Apron (ATA). These aerobridges enable passengers to board and disembark easily and efficiently, and allow for the safe transfer of passengers between the aircraft and the airport terminal without being affected by weather conditions.
They also improve security by limiting access to aprons and operational areas.
These aerobridges are common-use facilities and may only be operated by personnel who are authorised employees of airlines or ground handling agents.
