Typically, Pacific Rim airports are often located on the coast and air bridges are exposed to this harsh marine environment. Coating systems have to provide long-term, advanced corrosion protection and be visually attractive to the same high standard as automotive bodywork. This requires a zinc anti-corrosion coating that is smooth enough to facilitate a functional, yet decorative paint system and protect the air bridge against the elements.
With increased air travel and a diverse range of commercial passenger jets landing at New Zealand airports, robust, attractive air bridges are a necessity. The air bridges also need to be versatile and able to accommodate current and new generation commercial jets, particularly the Airbus A380.
