It is called a jetway. The name "Jetway" is the registered trademark for a specific company's brand of aircraft boarding bridge. In many places, the word "jetway" has fallen into common usage to mean any bridge used to board an aircraft, regardless of manufacturer.

Those are called passenger boarding bridges or, less formally, jetways. Previously, they had also been known by other terms like "aviobridges" or other terms, largely by the companies that manufactured them. They act as "bridges" connecting the airport terminal building to the loading door of an aircraft. The present term is also the result of the fact that the aircraft normally using them are the larger turbojet-powered aircraft while those smaller aircraft (generally 50 passengers or less) that are powered by turboprops are generally fitted with internal stairs and can load and discharge passengers without the benefit of these devices.

Jetway is the generic term, however Jetway is simply the brand name of the company that manufacturers the product called a jet bridge.

Boarding ramp? Loading ramp? The terms vary, but "boarding gate" seems to cover that whole area from the check in stand by the entrance to the ramp right up to the plane.

the answers above sound reasonable. Or, you could call it the entrance and/or exit.
