And it also might depend on what is available at that time. Are there any open gates with jet bridges? If not, then remote stand.

Jump to postI have a question. On this website we frequently see people saying that some flights make money off of cargo and passengers are just gravy. Exactly what routes would these be, and how expensive are those cargo rates? I’ve worked in the industry for over 30 years and I’ve never heard of a route like...
Jump to postLook at SJC's airport. There is an access road at the end of the runway and the runway does not start until several hundred feet down. It is all connected with concrete. Which is because that part can be used by aircraft taking off. As AMS 04/22 is not used for takeoff by such large aircraft, it's ...

Jump to postThe one thing that this helps of course is the reduction of narrow body cockpits to 3. There will only be E-Jets, A220 and A320 cockpits in the whole group left in about 10 years.

There are some ramp facilities where they have built-in bridges that connect from sort building directly to the plane so no dolly OR loader is needed.

Jump to postOk, in what scenario are dollies not needed anymore? You have to have dolly strings to move the containers from sort to aircraft, unless you have a nose dock but those are few and far between. The only alternative is to have trucks back directly up to the loader, but that's a very inefficient way t...
