Air Bridge directs here. However, an "air bridge" is the term for planes that would move in swiftly and ferry people out in quick succession.

[edit] Jetway / Jetbridge

Because Jetway is a registered name by a particular manufacturer many airlines and airports have been implementing the more generic "jet bridge" or "boarding bridge" instead. I believe that Wikipedia should do the same, simply redirecting "Jetway" to this article, with "jet bridge" replacing "jetway" in the text.Hatcat 17:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

• I concur. Jetway is a brand name. Jetbridge is the proper term. Neo16287 03:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• "Passenger Boarding Bridge" or "Loading Bridge" or "Aircraft Loading Bridge" are also commonly used terms. Loosenut 23:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

When were jet bridges introduced? Which airport was the first to use them? The article should address these questions, I think. KarenSutherland (talk) 11:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
