Looking at the width of the current gate markings, you could easily accommodate 15 jetways at each terminal if all you did was eliminate one of the widebody gates from T5 and T6 respectively(leaving each terminal with one such gate). At T5, operationally, HA only really needs one A330 capable gate (gate 59) and at T6, AC only needs one widebody gate (at most they’ll only ever do 4x daily YYZ on their B789/B77W). So with B6 blowing up at T5, I’m surprised the gates haven’t been added. Thoughts?

T2 has several gates (23, 25, 26) that can handle 2 ADG-III and smaller, or one ADG-IV or larger. I don’t know why that’s not done at T5/T6.

I think I also remember hearing about airlines having to reduce jetway counts in the early 2000s for some reason-was that the case, too?
Happy Easter!

Did United or Continental ever use both jetways to board a 767-400 or a 767-300 at Gate 68A?

I've boarded a CO 767-400 flight from LAX, and I can confirm the "fixed" jetway (Gate 69A), was not used, but the 2nd jetway (Gate 69B) was used. I imagine there was a similar setup for 68A/68B.blacksoviet wrote:The Family Man movie was filmed in 2000 at Terminal 6, Gate 66. The film starred Tea Leoni and Nicolas Cage.

My recollection during that era has the southeastern end of Terminal 6 (early 1970's extension) typically used by UA, which includes Gate 66, for which I remember more Transpacific operations using these gates, but a CDG flight could very well have arrived and departed from those gates. The southwestern end would have been used by DL & CO, with CO moreso using it for their widebody flights (D10, 762, 764, 777) since those could not park at the Terminal 6 1980's connector gates assigned to CO.

Not sure but I’ve only seen Air Canada park there with heavies in recent years, b763.

Do the UA 763s even have enough range to fly to ORY or CDG?

How many gates does Alaska share with Air Canada?

Currently just 69 A/B regularly, they may share 64 at times as well but I cannot remember TBH. 69A has seen the AC Dreamliner back at LAX recently too.
66, 68A/B have been under construction for months.
