Gate (airport)
A gate is an area in an airport terminal that controls access to a passenger aircraft. While the exact specifications vary from airport to airport and country to country, most gates consist of a seated waiting area, a counter and a doorway leading to the aircraft. A gate adjacent to the stand where the aircraft is parked may be a ''contact gate'', providing access by way of a jet bridge, or a ''ground-loaded gate'', providing a path for passengers to leave the building to board via mobile stairs or airstairs built into the aircraft itself. A ''remote gate'' serves an aircraft stand further away, providing access to ground transportation to move passengers between the gate and the stand, where they board via stairs. Each gate typically corresponds to one parking stand on the airport's apron. A gate that provides access to multiple stands may have separate, designated doorways – sometimes termed ''sub-gates'' – for each stand. Commercial airport stands have airside components ...

Airport Terminal
An airport terminal is a building at an airport where passengers transfer between ground transportation and the facilities that allow them to board and disembark from an aircraft. Within the terminal, passengers purchase tickets, transfer their luggage, and go through security. The buildings that provide access to the airplanes (via gates) are typically called concourses. However, the terms "terminal" and "concourse" are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the configuration of the airport. Smaller airports have one terminal while larger airports have several terminals and/or concourses. At small airports, the single terminal building typically serves all of the functions of a terminal and a concourse. Some larger airports have one terminal that is connected to multiple concourses via walkways, sky-bridges, or tunnels (such as Denver International Airport, modeled after Atlanta's, the world's busiest), or Orlando International Airport (modeled after Tampa's).
