L'utilisation de jetées peut considérablement augmenter la surface d'aire de trafic disponible pour desservir une aérogare centrale donnée. Il est généralement recommandé que les distances de marche depuis le comptoir de délivrance des billets jusqu'à l'avion ne dépasse pas 300 m. (...) Un système à deux jetées (...) présentera un avantage sur la jetée unique du point de vue de la distance de marche lorsque le nombre de postes de stationnement dépasse douze.
