Besides Speed (1994), where else do we have airport buses with doors directly in the front?

Appears to be the same model as in Speed, MAN SU 240:

And, to answer your question, there's another SU 240 in 2012:

The ÖAF Vorfeldbus was built between 1978 and 2000, mainly for middle east- and USA-customers according to http://www.modellbus.info/monat-041.htm. The above shown one is a pre-1988 facelift version.
ÖAF Modell "FLUGHAFEN-VORFELDBUS GS FH 240 M 14". Built with parts of a regular SR 240.
