passenger boarding
Getting on transport
Passenger boarding is the process of passengers entering a vehicle for transport—typically an aircraft, ship, train, or bus.
Airlines announce boarding by zones or groups: Passenger boarding will begin in ten minutes.
The term appears in compound forms like passenger boarding bridge (the enclosed walkway connecting terminal to aircraft) and in regulations governing safety procedures.
