Comment on Why do US airports have a lot more jet bridges than EU airports?

All I can add is a personal anecdote but most of the smaller regional airports I have ever flown through have boarded from the tarmac vs a jet bridge.

Yeah, but I’ve taken the bus to the airplane at major airports in the EU including Frankfurt. In contrast, the airports in the US that I’ve had to board on stairs are much smaller.

Oh yeah I’ve never taken a bus to the plane before

Really depends on the airline. Lufthansa will rarely send you on a bus. But the answer is because they don’t have enough gates for all the planes.
