One example of a passenger boarding bridge includes a rotunda, a tunnel unit, a cab rotatably provided at a distal end of the tunnel unit, a mover that docks the cab with an entrance of an aircraft, and a door position detector provided inside the cab that detects, after docking, an edge position of a door of the entrance in a width direction with respect to the cab in a case where a width of the door is greater than or equal to a predetermined width. A door opening determiner determines whether or not the door can be opened smoothly based on whether or not the edge position is within a predetermined allowable region, and a notifier issues a notification of an abnormality in a case where the door opening determiner has determined that the door cannot be opened smoothly.
