Method for identifying an airplane in connection to parking of the airplane at a gate or a stand, for possible connection of a passenger bridge (1) or a loading bridge to a door of an airplane, where the airplane is positioned and stopped at a predetermined position using a touchless measurement of the distance between the airplane and a fixed point, where the distance is indicated on a display (6) mounted in front of the pilot of the airplane on for instance an airport building (7), which display (6) is caused to show to the pilot the position of the airplane (5) in relation to a stop point for the airplane and to show the current airplane type, where the said distance measurement and display are caused to be activated by a computer system (20) belonging to the airport or manually, and wherein an antenna (16) is caused to receive information (17) transmitted by an airplane (5). The invention is characterized in that at least the identification number of the airplane and the longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates of the airplane are extracted from said information (17), in that information regarding the airplane type and version in question for a certain identification number is obtained from a database in which the identification numbers of airplanes are stored, which information is transferred to a control system (18) for the said display (6), and in that the control system (18) is caused to control the said display (6) at the stand at which an airplane is to park and, on the display, indicate airplane type and version.
