Abstract
A method, and a vehicle for dispatching air passengers between the arrival at an arrival zone and boarding the aircraft, with check-in, baggage checking and transport from the arrival zone to the aircraft waiting at the ramp, in which the air passengers, after arriving at the arrival zone, are conducted, together with the baggage, into a cabin mounted on a vehicle, and check-in, baggage checking and, optionally, a security check are performed in the cabin which transports the air passenger directly to the aircraft. The vehicle, thus, takes over a number of functions which heretofore were performed in the stationary airport building. The dispatching takes place simultaneously with the transport of the air passengers to the aircraft.
