Which term describes the movable walkway between the terminal and the aircraft?

• A. LAV (Lavatory)
• B. Jumpseat
• C. Galley
• D. Jet Bridge

Answer: (D)

The movable walkway between the terminal and the aircraft is the jet bridge, also known as a passenger boarding bridge. It’s designed to connect the gate to the airplane door, and it can extend, retract, and adjust its height to match different aircraft positions, letting passengers board and deboard smoothly and safely. The other terms refer to different parts of the aircraft or its operations: a lavatory is the toilet, a jumpseat is a crew seat inside the cabin or cockpit, and a galley is the kitchen area where meals are prepared. In some airports you might also see stairs used instead of a jet bridge, but the term for the movable walkway is jet bridge.
