Walk around any airport and you’ll see Airbus A320s everywhere. They’re everywhere because they work – reliable, efficient, and perfect for routes across Europe, domestic US flights, and everywhere in between. But getting passengers safely on and off these Code C aircraft when they’re parked on remote stands can be challenging, especially for passengers with reduced mobility.
That’s where Airbus A320 boarding ramps from Aviramp make the difference, transforming the passenger experience while improving operational efficiency for ground handlers.
We’ve developed two integrated accessibility solutions specifically suited to the operational needs of the Airbus A320, addressing some of the most persistent challenges around accessible air travel.
Our step-free boarding ramps enable passengers with reduced mobility to board the Airbus A320 without using traditional aircraft stairs. Designed for aircraft operating on remote stands, the ramp provides a smooth, level path from the apron to the aircraft door, eliminating the need for separate ambulift equipment while supporting a more inclusive boarding experience for all passengers.
Alongside this, our chair lifter system simplifies the handling of mobility equipment when loading the Airbus A320 cargo hold. It allows ground teams to safely lift and stow heavy powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters that are otherwise difficult and risky to manoeuvre manually.
Combined, these solutions help Airbus A320 operators streamline ground operations while improving accessibility. The result is safer handling of mobility aids, quicker turnaround times, reduced equipment complexity, and a genuinely step-free boarding experience for passengers with reduced mobility.
Traditional aircraft stairs create real problems for passengers with reduced mobility. Steep climbs, narrow steps and slippery surfaces in wet weather make boarding genuinely dangerous. Our reduced mobility boarding ramps solve these problems with gentle slopes that make boarding safe and comfortable.
The ramp functionality is straightforward – a gentle gradient means wheelchair users can board independently with dignity, whilst all passengers benefit from easier access. No more waiting for separate ambulifts or feeling singled out. Just step-free boarding that keeps everyone together.
Heavy electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters present major challenges for ground handling teams. Many weigh 120-300+ kg – far beyond safe manual lifting limits. That’s where our chair lifter technology makes the difference.
This device is designed specifically to load and unload heavy mobility aids without any manual lifting, dramatically reducing damage incidents while improving safety for ground handling staff. The operational benefits are significant: better working conditions for staff, simpler logistics and reduced staffing requirements for mobility aid handling.
The International is designed for wide-body aircraft operations, serving everything from the A320 up to the A380 lower deck. This passenger boarding ramp accommodates major aircraft including the B777/787 and A330/350 series, with a working height range of 3.2-5.2m to match the varying door heights of these larger aircraft.
This mobile aircraft ramp provides safe, step-free access for all passengers, including those with reduced mobility, eliminating the need for separate lifting equipment. Operated by one person using a handheld remote control, it runs on either a small diesel engine or solar-powered electric motor. The covered design protects passengers from weather conditions during boarding.
The Continental is a fully motorised mobile boarding ramp designed for medium to narrow-body aircraft. Available in both solar and diesel-powered versions, this aircraft ramp offers safe, step-free access for all passengers whilst providing full wheelchair accessibility.
This passenger boarding solution eliminates the safety risks associated with traditional stairs and is ideal for airports handling medium-body aircraft where passenger comfort and operational efficiency are priorities.
Traditional aircraft stairs create genuine problems for many passengers and ground handling operations. The steep climb can be difficult for older travellers, families with young children, or anyone carrying heavy bags. In wet weather, metal stairs become slippery and dangerous. For ground crews, traditional boarding methods can slow down operations when you need quick turnarounds with Code C aircraft like the Airbus A320.
Our boarding ramp for Airbus A320 operations solves both problems. The low-angled ramps are fitted with all-weather anti-slip flooring as standard to improve safety for all passengers, even in poor weather conditions. The gentle gradient makes boarding comfortable whilst crew stairs enable full aircraft access while allowing passenger pre-boarding to the top platform.
For passengers with reduced mobility, the difference is significant. Instead of waiting for separate wheelchair lifts or ambulifts, they can board independently with dignity. This removes delays from the boarding process, improves turnaround efficiency for airlines, airports and ground handlers, and ensures everyone gets the same quality experience.
With our ramps in use across the globe, airports and ground handlers have proven that proper boarding equipment makes a real difference. Our ramps offer a safe, dignified alternative to stairs and separate ambulifts for wheelchair users and those passengers with reduced mobility.
The Airbus A320’s popularity in commercial aviation means you need equipment that’s reliable and ready for daily operations with Code C aircraft. With minimal maintenance requirements and comprehensive after-sales support including warranty, maintenance and service plans, our proven track record demonstrates our long-standing commitment to improving passenger boarding across all aircraft types.
