ABSTRACT:
A boarding bridge includes a rotunda connected to a terminal building and rotatable around a vertical axis thereof; an extendable tunnel section connected to the rotunda at one end thereof; and a cab connected to the other end of the tunnel section and rotatable around a vertical axis thereof. The tunnel section is structured to extend generally parallel to a fuselage of an aircraft when the cab is attached to the aircraft. The cab includes a floor extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the tunnel section, and a gangplank which is arranged to be projectable forward from a portion of the floor, and by projecting forward, defines a path connecting the floor and a hatch of the aircraft.
