This tag is for the gates used by passengers before entering aeroplanes. This should not be used for passenger pick-up/drop-off zones near roads.
Airports can have bizarre systems to number their ![[W]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Tango_style_Wikipedia_Icon_no_shadow.svg/16px-Tango_style_Wikipedia_Icon_no_shadow.svg.png){kind=icon}
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.
How to map
Add aeroway=gate and ref=number or name 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.
