The contract is for the supply of 25 boarding bridges, air handling units, and 400 Hz ground power equipment. The contract, between JBT and Holder – Big D Joint Venture, also calls for JBT to act as the systems integrator for electrically-powered ground support equipment charging stations and aircraft parking devices. The Jetway® boarding bridges being supplied are of a smooth-sided, steel design with PLC controls. The air handling units will use chilled / heated liquid from the central utility plant to provide conditioned air to the aircraft while parked at the gate. By supplying conditioned air and 400 Hz ground power, the JBT equipment will allow the aircraft power units to be turned off saving fuel, reducing pollution, and minimizing operational costs.

JBT has a long history with the Salt Lake City International Airport. JBT supplied boarding bridges as part of the airport re-development project in 1982. Additionally, since 2009, JBT has been supplying services to maintain the Terminal 2 Baggage Handling System and since 2013 JBT has been maintaining the airport’s gate equipment, including boarding bridges, pre-conditioned air units, and ground power units. Currently, JBT has approximately 25 employees engaged full-time providing maintenance services at Salt Lake City International Airport.

JBT is a global supplier of gate equipment, such as boarding bridges, pre-conditioned air units, and ground power systems; ground support equipment, such as loaders and push-back tractors; and services that include maintenance, baggage handling operations, and asset management technologies.
