These were White and gleaming, one of the installers/engineers told me they we based on a American Design. Less than two years later, these same air bridges were falling apart and almost all had stopped working.
Part of the problem is this, the Chinese copy everything, this iPad I am writing this response on has been copied, the copies are cheaper because the Chinese copies use inferior parts and therefore they break with not much use. The same was true if the air bridges, they were not paticually well built. I have no doubt if the Germans build it then the train will be built well, with quality parts. Much like everything from Germany.
So long as they don't keep the combination for the lock in the suitcase BG
