For example, the control device 140 may control the cooling / heating device 120 to supply cooling / heating to the boarding pass 111 before the aircraft arrives. Specifically, air conditioning can be supplied to the boarding platform 111 at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time before arrival of the aircraft. Then, the time required for the passenger to descend in consideration of the aircraft type is set, and after the time has elapsed, the control device 140 stops the cooling / heating device 120 from supplying air conditioning to the boarding pass 111, .

In other words, the air conditioning can be selectively supplied to the boarding pass 111 or the airplane in consideration of the arrival and departure of the airplane.

Alternatively, the air flow rate can be adjusted in consideration of the capacity of the boarding pass 111 and the airplane. When air conditioning is supplied to the boarding pass 111 and the airplane at the same time, the inverter capacity can be increased to increase the air flow rate.

The control device 140 may be configured to control the cooling / heating device 120 by an operator's operation or an operation information input. For example, if the FIDS system that guides the departure and arrival times of aircraft at each gate is not operated due to a fault, the operator can control the cooling / heating unit 140 by operating the control unit 140 or inputting operation information.

The boarding platform 111 may include an operation button (not shown) for controlling the cooling / heating device 140. The boarding school attendant or boarding passenger can control the operation of the cooling and heating unit 140 by operating the operation buttons.

The control device may selectively open / close the first damper 222a or the second damper 222b to selectively allow the cooling / heating device 220 to supply cooling / heating to the boarding school or the airplane.

That is, the control device controls the dampers 138a and 138b shown in FIG. 3 to control the cooling and heating supply of the cooling and heating device 120, or to control the dampers 222a and 222b of the cooling and heating device 220 shown in FIG. So that it is possible to control the cooling / heating supply of the cooling / heating device 220.
