Which door closes first when boarding from two doors?

• A. The AFT door
• B. The Forward door
• C. The Mid door
• D. The Wing door

Answer: (A)

When two doors are used for boarding, the rear (AFT) door is closed first because the forward door is the main entry point for passengers. Keeping the forward door open until boarding is complete allows late arrivals to still get on without delaying the closure of the aircraft. Once everyone is seated and a quick safety check is finished, the rear door is secured to finalize the cabin’s readiness, and then the forward door is closed. The wing and mid doors aren’t typically used for normal boarding and are reserved for emergencies or special procedures.
