arrival gates

Where flights disembark

Arrival gates are the designated areas in an airport where passengers emerge after deplaning and passing through customs or security.

Friends and family gather at arrival gates to meet travelers: We'll wait for you at the arrival gate.

The term distinguishes from departure gates, where passengers board flights.
