Guys the airbridges wont be in use until the DAA gives the go-ahead for it to be re-paired. Since the Birmingham incident it was damaged and no longer used. EI used it all the time when it was available, so did Onur, AirVIA, Spanair (loads of charters) & bmibaby at one stage. Only when this is all brought into the focus of national tv users (rte news bulletin) will it be rectified and maybe we will finnaly see it in use again. As for Ryanair using it - it would involve €0.00 charges for operating it. Anyway FR only use airbridges at LGW, AGP & FAO.
