Passenger integrated guidance system (PIGS) provides a safe solution that guides passengers when embarking and disembarking the aircraft. Every part has been carefully designed for maximum durability and minimum FOD risk. It ensures that unsafe underwing areas are kept clear.  

Included as standard:

  • Manufactured from stainless steel for longevity and robustness, minimising maintenance work required
  • 2x 30 metre webbing (choice of colour)
  • Large stainless steel carbine clips welded in place
  • Quick locking reel mechanism

Optional extras

  • Wheel chock trays for storage/transportation
  • Branded webbing tapes
  • Branded trolley
  • Bespoke designs available

FAQS

Yes. A modular system can be arranged in different lengths and shapes to suit stand position, aircraft type, boarding direction and apron obstacles. The layout should be planned for each stand so it preserves emergency access, vehicle routes and safe clearance from engines and wings. 
Yes. Webbing, signs and panels can include airline or airport branding, directional arrows and passenger instructions. Safety messages should remain prominent, high-contrast and easy to understand, with branding applied without reducing visibility or creating additional loose components. 
It creates a visible controlled route and reduces the chance of passengers wandering into unsafe areas. A purpose-built system also helps ground staff deploy consistent boundaries while minimising loose components and foreign object debris. It supports, rather than replaces, trained staff supervision and the airport’s approved boarding procedure. 
High-visibility posts and retractable webbing are positioned to form a continuous corridor along the approved passenger route. The system directs passengers towards the aircraft steps or terminal entrance and blocks access to areas such as under the wings. Staff supervise the route and adjust the layout before passenger movement begins. 
A Passenger Integrated Guidance System, or PIGS, is a portable barrier system used to create a clearly defined walking route between the terminal, bus or gate and an aircraft. It helps guide passengers while keeping them away from restricted underwing, engine and vehicle movement areas.
