landing stage?

[ladorada]

How do you call the thing where the load (cars or fruit or any other products) is uploaded and unloaded from an airplane? Is 'landing stage' the right choice?

Thx. (I'm not a native.)

When driven up/down an incline into the 'plane - a 'loading ramp'.

When raised/lowered to/from a cargo door - a 'cargo platform'.

and it is performed on the apron (tarmac area where the aircraft parks)

...although there is another word for the 'apron' which adds confusion to the above answers - the ramp.

....or the stand (individual parking place on the aron / ramp0
