Southwest testing faster deplaning process at San Jose, Sacramento airports
I Am throwing it out there to the crowd... how would you unboard a plane faster Answer Here http://discussions.flightaware.com/airlines/how-would-you-unboard-a-plane-faster-t39098.html (www.sfgate.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I remember getting on and off 747s at Dulles in the early 1980s, with their "mobile lounges". They drove one up to every door on the plane. Everyone got off and into the terminal quickly, but it sure was manpower intensive.
This is the normal procedure at Franz-Joseph-Strauß airport in Munich and has been for years. Most gates have dual jet bridges, but it is also often used for larger single isle aircraft when remote deplaning and busing passengers to the terminal.
Also, remember if you have any ideas please post them by going to the link above. Copy/paste to your browser.
I want to add to this JFK has 2 door level entrances/exits for international. Flights but i have never seen them use the upper door.
I've definitely used the upper door within the past 2 years. I think it was BA 282 from LAX to LHR.
I recall several international flights during the past 2 years when different classes boarded through different jetways, and I assume also deplaned the same way upon arrival at the destination. I can't swear to the latter, though, because I wasn't paying attention and only wanted to get off after those 10+ hour flights!
(And yes, those were widebodies, some with upper decks, and I was amazed how quickly everyone boarded resulting in early departure.)

As has been pointed out by Highflyer1950, this system has been around for years. Alaska has been using dual deplaning for years at SJC. I recall it was used both for boarding and deplaning at MSN before the a terminal with jetways was built.
