If the aerobridge was retracted & re-docked at any time on request by the airline, the charges will be calculated based on total time of bridge bay occupancy from the first docking time to the final time of retraction & US$ 25 will be levied as an additional operational charge per retraction and re-docking.
Depending on operational requirements, If AASL requested to tow the aircraft away from the Aerobridge to another bay and later allowed to be re-docked, the charges will be calculated as a single operation and the time considered as the total occupancy time of the aircraft kept docked at the aerobridge.
In the event, the airline fails to tow the Aircraft from the aerobridge without justifiable reason, aerobridge charge will be levied for the total period which it had occupied the bridge bay.
In addition, a penalty which is equal to the total aerobridge charge will also be imposed.
