United Airlines is going to experiment with a dual boarding ramp at its Denver hub.
The idea is that the bridge will be Y-shaped. Once customers enter the bridge, they can go down two ways: One doorway will connect to the front door of the plane, while the other ramp connects to the back door.
This way, passengers in both the front and back of the plane can board simultaneously.
United is saying that this move is about improving customer service, but it is probably aimed at reducing turn-around time. Airlines always want to cut down on the time it takes to board an aircraft, so they can sneak in one extraround-trip flight a day.
