inflågningstjänsten

Inflågningstjänsten, which translates to "boarding service" in English, is a term primarily used in aviation and maritime contexts to refer to the process of passengers entering an aircraft or vessel. In aviation, it encompasses the procedures and infrastructure that facilitate passengers moving from the terminal building to their seat on an airplane. This typically involves walking through a jet bridge or boarding a bus that transports them to the aircraft parked on the tarmac. For passengers with reduced mobility or those requiring special assistance, specific inflågningstjänsten arrangements are often in place, such as the use of ambulifts or specialized boarding ramps.

In maritime operations, such as ferries or cruise ships, inflågningstjänsten refers to the process of passengers embarking onto the ship. This usually occurs at a designated terminal or pier, where passengers follow a pathway to board the vessel. Similar to air travel, provisions are made for passengers who need assistance during the boarding process. The efficiency and safety of inflågningstjänsten are crucial for smooth operations, ensuring passengers are comfortably and securely on board before departure. The term emphasizes the transition from land-based waiting areas to the mode of transport.
