What is a Gangway? Definition, Types, and Uses

A gangway is a passage or bridge that connects two ships or a ship and a dock, allowing people to move from one to the other. It can also refer to a walkway or corridor on a ship that connects different parts of the vessel.

In aviation, a gangway is a movable bridge that connects an aircraft to a terminal building or other aircraft, allowing passengers and crew to move between them.

The term "gangway" comes from the nautical term "gangeway," which referred to a passageway or corridor on a ship. Over time, the spelling was modified to "gangway."
