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