gate assignments
Where flights board
Gate assignments are the designated boarding locations for aircraft at an airport terminal.
Airlines and airport operations coordinate gate assignments based on flight schedules, aircraft size, and terminal logistics.
Passengers check departure boards for their gate assignment: Our gate assignment changed from B12 to C7.
Delays often result from gate assignment conflicts.
