A passenger and luggage handling system for an air terminal utilizes a unique bus-type vehicle according to the invention which has a passenger compartment in the elongated body which is separated from the luggage compartment extending longitudinally therealong, preferably beneath the passenger compartment. At one end of the vehicle the passenger compartment has an elevatable stairway having a member which can be lifted strictly vertically to the height of the aircraft door, thereby entraining a corresponding number of steps of the stairway also strictly vertically. The luggage compartment is provided with means, e.g. a conveyor, for moving the luggage through this compartment or into and out of the compartment.

Passenger and luggage transfer system

The invention relates to a closed vehicle and a complex equipment for managing services at airports, for the direct transport of passengers and luggages from the administrating and luggage manipulating area to the airplane. The essence of the closed vehicle according to the invention is, that a part of the passenger space is forming a flight of stairs, the height of which can be optionally adjusted, furthermore the passenger space is formed in the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. Preferably the lifting device of the flight of stairs is fixed to the stair-step, which can be lifted to the highest point. The displacement clearance between the elements connecting the stair-steps following each other corresponds to the height of the stair-step. The attainable maximal height of stairs is determined by the number of stair-steps applied. Preferably, the luggage space is arranged below the passenger space; in the luggage space at least one continuous transit path is formed. The passenger space and the luggage space have plain floors and are formed continuously in the longitudinal centerline of the closed vehicle. Both the passenger space and the luggage space, or at least one of them is provided with aperture closing means on the frontal side, while both spaces may be provided with an aperture and in a given case with aperture closing means in the lateral direction of the vehicle.
