At the present time the airport has one loading ramp. There are many times when two or more aircraft are on the apron at the same time. With only one unit, we can only deplane/enplane a single aircraft at a time. Additionally, if this one unit fails, passengers may be trapped on the aircraft or not able to board a flight.
