A weird question...

Postby skoker » Mon May 03, 2010 5:17 pm

How many airports have only one jetway?  I've been arguing with my brother about it.  I know of EKO so far.

I know of several, including DBQ and ALO.  They want to install one at our airport as well, but we are against it.  Basically look for small airports that receive RJ service a few times a day, a lot of them will have a single jetway.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

It just depends on the airport, more Airline traffic generally would bring more jetways. But that can contradicted, many Airports that have Airline traffic don't have any jetways at all, such as San Angelo.

What I don't understand is how Airports with only one jetway run more than one Airline out of one jetway. It would just get confusing.


I suppose a better question would be, How many airports have only one Jetway and service more than one airline?

(I know i'm ranting somewhat) But what I also find amusing is small airports that have 3 or 4 runways.  :P
