airbridge
Gate-to-aircraft tunnel
An airbridge is a route for transporting supplies or personnel by aircraft, especially when ground routes are blocked or impractical: The Berlin Airlift established an airbridge to supply the city.
In British usage, an airbridge is also the enclosed walkway connecting an airport terminal to an aircraft—what Americans call a jet bridge or jetway.
