What is the name of the passage connecting the airport terminal and the passenger plane?

According to the layout of boarding gates, the terminal is divided into four types.

The boarding gate is the entrance for passengers to get on and off the plane. Arrange a seat relative to the boarding gate for the plane to stop.

① Front terminal. The boarding gate is arranged along the front of the terminal.

② Corridor terminal. One or more corridors extend from the main building of the terminal building to the apron, and boarding gates are arranged along both sides of the corridor.

③ Satellite terminal. Some boarding halls are built outside the main building of the terminal building, and boarding gates are set around the boarding halls, which are connected with the main building through corridors.

④ Comprehensive terminal building. The terminal built by the above three or two forms. Now, because some more developed cities do not have the conditions to build airports, the diversification of trade relations has created another mode of terminal building. In other words, it is located in a city far from the airport, and then it also has the functions of the terminal mentioned above. For example, there are four terminals in Shunde, all of which have direct shuttle buses to the airport. The daily frequency is about 12, which runs between Baiyun Airport and Shunde, providing a lot of convenience for local or nearby residents. At the same time, these terminals also have the functions of logistics and freight transportation. Generally speaking, such a dock will also have service facilities such as business hotels integrating catering and entertainment.

According to the layout of boarding gates, the terminal can be divided into front row, corridor, satellite and comprehensive.

The front terminal is arranged with boarding gates and seats along the front of the terminal.

Corridor terminal is one or several corridors extending from the main building of the terminal to the apron. Aircraft seats are arranged along both sides of the corridor, and each aircraft seat is equipped with a boarding gate. The terminals of Chicago O'Hare, London Heathrow, Tokyo Haneda and other airports all belong to this form.

The satellite terminal is to build some boarding halls outside the main building and connect them with the main building by corridors. Arrange airplane seats around the boarding hall and set up corresponding boarding gates. This form is adopted in the terminal building of Beijing Capital Airport.

Integrated terminal is a terminal built by using the above three or two forms. Orly airport South Terminal is in this form. According to the layout of buildings, docks can be divided into centralized and decentralized types. Centralized terminal is a building with terminal as a whole unit. Front terminal, corridor terminal, satellite terminal and comprehensive terminal all belong to this category. The decentralized terminal is a small building unit where each boarding gate becomes a plane, and passengers can directly reach the front of the plane by bus. Building units are arranged in a straight line or arc to form the whole terminal building. The boarding mode of passengers is closely related to the form of the terminal building. Boarding bridges are often used in centralized terminals; In general, boarding and ladder boarding are used in decentralized terminal buildings. Boarding cars pick up and drop off passengers between the terminal and the plane, and there are two types: ordinary and lifting. The elevator boarding car can rise to the same height as the plane door. There are two kinds of boarding elevators: self-provided passenger elevators and ground passenger elevators, which are generally used in small airports.
