A regional aircraft boarding pier (10) can be provided at an airport concourse (30) in place of one or two conventional large aircraft boarding bridges (32). The regional aircraft boarding pier (10) includes a primary passenger bridge (12) between the airport concourse (30) and a hub (14). A number of secondary passenger bridges (16) extend from the hub (14) to individual regional aircraft (36). In this way an equivalent number of passenger seats can be serviced as between large and regional aircraft, and both large aircraft (34) and regional aircraft (36) can be docked at a common airport terminal (30). Consequently, passengers can more efficiently and conveniently transfer between connecting flights that are on both large and regional aircraft. The hub (14) of the boarding pier (10) can take a number of configurations (314, 414, 514) to optimally use the space available. The hub (14) can also support large aircraft boarding bridges (32) as well as the secondary passenger bridges (16) docked to smaller, regional aircraft (36).

Cette invention concerne un ponton d'embarquement (10) pour avions régionaux qui peut être utilisé au niveau d'un hall d'aéroport (30) à la place d'une ou de deux passerelles d'embarquement traditionnelles (32) pour gros porteurs. Ce ponton d'embarquement (10) une passerelles principale pour passagers (12) situé entre le hall (30) et un noyau (14). Un certain nombre de passerelles secondaires (16) pour passagers mènent du noyau (14) aux avions régionaux individuels (36). Il est ainsi possible de desservir un nombre équivalent de sièges pour passagers pour de grands avions comme pour des avions régionaux, et d'arrimer tant de grands avions (34) que des avions régionaux (36) à un terminal d'aéroport commun (30). Les passagers peuvent ainsi plus facilement et plus efficacement transiter entre des vols de correspondance se déroulant sur de grands avions ou des avions régionaux. Le noyau (14) ou le ponton d'embarquement (10) peuvent avoir un certain nombre de configurations (314, 414, 514) afin d'utiliser de manière optimale les espaces disponibles. Le noyau (14) peut également supporter des passerelles d'embarquement pour grands avions (32) ainsi que des passerelles secondaires (16) pour passagers qui sont arrimées à des avions régionaux plus petits (36).
