Air Conditioning perhaps? Thats my guess.

Yep, thats air conditioning. Supplied from a jetway mounted unit. Alot of the major airports use this system, the smaller ones utilize air conditioning GSE carts.

Oh, THAT yellow tube? The catheter to drain urine, of course!
NOT!!

It's an air conditioning conduit, for sure!!

Yup...all were correct, that's A/C. I remember the ones at the Marine Air Terminal at LGA (Delta Shuttle) would never stay on all the way. We kind of just winged it and let it hang up there a little. We would later hear F/A's complain about how warm the planes were. Our response was that they could get their lazy asses to sit under the plane and hold it into position while it sat on the ramp.

when it gets cold they can also hook up heat to that spot.....also down there not the same hole though you hook up pneumatic air for airstarts when the the APU is in-op...and cannot produce air to turn the engine...

No no no no... You're all wrong! The airport just delivered a bouncing baby CX. That's the umbilical cord. Photo #2 shows the doctor smacking the tail to dislodge the phlegm in the engines. Photo #3 shows the after-birth (oil slick).
