Airports can have bizarre systems to number their gates and it can be hard to find a map of the airport on-line. They can be mapped with help from bing imagery or even GPS when you stand by the window. For gates where you have to take a bus first, the place in the terminal where you wait for the bus should be mapped.
Note: This tag is for the gates the airplanes use. This should not be used for passenger pick-up/drop-off zones near roads.
How to Map
Add aeroway=gate and ref=gatenumber or gatename to a node that represents the gate. These nodes are typically stand-alone, placed a short distance outside the terminal building e.g. around the centre of the location where you take the "airbridge" to get onto the plane.
Rendering
Just plain text though maybe in a square at zoom 17 and 18 (Mapnik). See also see the render I made of Schiphol.
