A jet bridge (also termed loading bridge, aerobridge/airbridge, Jetway, or passenger boarding bridge) is an enclosed, movable connector which extends from an airport terminal gate to an airplane, allowing passengers to board and disembark without having to go outside. Depending on building design, sill heights, fueling positions and operational requirements, it may be fixed or movable, swinging radially or extending in length. Jetway is a registered trademark. However, it is often used in North American parlance to refer generically to any bridge used to board an aircraft, regardless of manufacturer. Prior to the introduction of jet bridges passengers would normally board an aircraft by walking along the ground-level tarmac and climbing a set of movable stairs, or up airstairs on aircraft so equipped. Mobile staircases or "ramp stairs" are still employed at many airports around the world, particularly smaller airports and terminals supporting low cost carriers. In Europe, budget carrier Ryanair uses movable stairs on all its routes.
