Who is responsible for bringing the General Manifest to signify end of boarding?

• A. Gate agent
• B. Flight attendant
• C. Pilot
• D. Dispatcher

Answer: (A)

The task tests who wraps up the boarding process by delivering the official passenger list. The General Manifest is the master list of everyone aboard the flight, used to confirm that all passengers are accounted for before departure. The gate agent handles the boarding at the gate, checks that all passengers have boarded, and once the last person is on board and the door is closed, they present the General Manifest to the flight crew to signify that boarding is complete. This handoff marks that the aircraft is ready to push back and depart. The other roles aren’t responsible for this handoff because they don’t oversee the boarding finalization at the gate or the official sign-off that boarding is finished. The flight crew will use the manifest once it’s handed to them, but it’s the gate agent who initiates the end-of-boarding signal with the manifest.
