Not noticed any airbridges in use in recent visits to the new terminal (travelling on EI).
AFAIK, gates 3-6 are airbridge compatible, 1-2 and 7-8 are not. With all that rain, it's a pity not have airbridges in use on the four gates!
It's very rare and seems to be limited towards Amsterdam, Brussels, London and Paris. It really is a pity they weren't able to proceed with the planned fixed airbridges from stands 7 through to 10. Stand 9 (with the only fixed airbridge) is heavily used by charter and ad-hoc airlines but at the end of the day airlines didn't want them and that's that!
Is it dependent on whose on or the time of day.
Seem's this could be an issue defiantly for servisair there's currently training on that stand for servisair marshallers, and I think alot of the trained Aer Lingus ground staff which were originally trained on the airbridge when the terminal opened have retired and the airline seemed not to want to retrain existing ground staff on the airbridge because they didn't use it, but this is changing soon and to my knowledge alot of Aer Lingus ground staff are also being trained on the airbridge.
