A mobile passenger access apparatus for the boarding and disembarkation of passengers from an aircraft has a mobile chassis 2, such as a flat bed truck, and an escalator mounted on the chassis with steps forming an endless loop between upper 6 and lower 8 platforms. A fixed stair section 10 at a lower end of the escalator allows passengers to walk between the ground and the lower platform of the escalator. The fixed stair section has a platform 20, which may have gates (22 fig.5), moveable between lower and raised positions enabling elderly or infirm passengers to be transferred to the escalator. Moveable platform 20 may have flaps (24 fig.5) connected to the gates via articulated linkages.
