jetbridge
Gate-to-aircraft passage
A jetbridge is the enclosed, movable walkway that connects an airport terminal gate to an aircraft door, allowing passengers to board and exit without going outside.
Also called a jet bridge, jetway, or passenger boarding bridge.
We waited in the jetbridge while the crew prepared the cabin.
