There must be some reasons why no one does dual entrance boarding. Obviously there would be an additional cost for jetways that would work in that configuration

There must be some reasons why no one does dual entrance boarding. Obviously there would be an additional cost for jetways that would work in that configuration. That might be why the only time I've seen boarding at both ends of a commercial flight was an Ethiopian Airlines flight in Tanzania with a stair car for each door. Even with everyone needing to climb up stairs, the boarding process using both doors was pretty quick.
- davidrupp 6y agoRyanair used front/rear boarding when I was flying with them out of Dublin in 2017 - 2018.
- JoeMalt 6y agoIt seems to be pretty common among European low-cost carriers. Not sure why it hasn’t taken off in the US, perhaps some reluctance to make passengers walk on the tarmac?
- enlightens 6y agoMy only experience with dual boarding was also in Tanzania with stair cars, though with KLM.

- panda88888 6y agoAs another fellow HNer mentioned, two door boarding seems to be more common on Asian carriers. When I flew with Eva Air, there were two doors open on the aircraft for boarding. Although the front one is for Business class only.
