Gate (airport)
A gate is an area in an airport terminal that controls access to a passenger aircraft. While the exact specifications vary from airport to airport and country to country, most gates consist of a seated waiting area, a counter and a doorway leading to the aircraft. A gate adjacent to the stand where the aircraft is parked may be a ''contact gate'', providing access by way of a jet bridge, or a ''ground-loaded gate'', providing a path for passengers to leave the building to board via mobile stairs or airstairs built into the aircraft itself. A ''remote stand'' serves an aircraft stand further away, providing access to ground transportation to move passengers between the gate and the stand, where they board via stairs. Each gate typically corresponds to one parking stand on the airport's apron. A gate that provides access to multiple stands/jet bridges may have separate, designated doorways – sometimes termed ''sub-gates'' – for each stand. Commercial airport stands have air ...
