Aircraft Air Stairs
Aircraft stairs are very important not only for the passengers but the maintenance personnel. A good set of air stairs allows for a safe and easy entry and exit from the aircraft. Aircraft stairs may also be called airstairs, aircraft steps, passenger boarding stairs, crew stairs, maintenance stairs, or simply boarding stairs. In any case, the stairs provide a mobile means to traverse between aircraft doors and the ground and since aircraft come in all sizes a variety of height adjustable and towable aircraft stairs are available to meet your needs for both passenger and crew use. Some features found on our aircraft stairs include modesty panels, a battery powered LED lighting system, and non-marking soft rubber bumpers for aircraft protection.
