Greetings

I have an ubiquiti airrouter in bridge mode,

Can it be port forwarded in this mode?
 
Probably not, are you dialing a pppoe connection though the device? What's the rest of your setup?
 
Whew I hope I explain this correct.

The main connection is established by a Mikrotik CPE

The Ubiquiti AirRouter is the bridge.
 
If the Airouter is receiving it's own WAN address then of course it can be port forwarded from that WAN address into the local network.

It sounds to me like you are incorrectly calling the AirRouter the bridge while it is in fact the Mikrotik that is the bridge and the Airrouter is the Router.

Is it...

Incoming Link > Mikrotik (Bridge) > AirRouter (WAN address) > LAN

or is it...

Incoming Link > Airrouter (Bridge) > Mikrotik (WAN address) > LAN

The one dialing the PPPoE isn't always necessary the router as they can often be configured to still pass the WAN address directly to the next device in the chain which is the actual routing device, still making it the bridge even though it does the dialling up.

Your port forward happens on the device that receives the WAN address directly and does the NAT to you local network.

Bridge = No NAT

Router = NAT + Masquerade (hence the port foward happens here)
 
SauRoNZA gave you the options.

We need to know:
a. Which device is doing the the PPPoE connection.
b. How / where with what port is your AirRouter connected to the Mikrotik.
c. What device has the WAN IP.
