I just hate it when I have to [take a bus to my airplane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-shuttle-service) somewhere out on the airfield and then get out and walk up stairs to get on board. Hannes Seeberg has designed the SkyLift - a bus that takes you to the plane and "lifts" you aboard. This is a far better way to enter the [smaller aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisk-aero-generation-6-evtol) and those parked out of reach for the traditional boarding bridges.

According to Seeberg the SkyLift is "Designed for safety, speed and capacity, two elevators and a bridge provide best possible conditions of comfort for passengers. It helps solve problems that occur within [passenger staircase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rampey) - such as falls, bottleneck-effect, security risks and accessibility."
