The disclosure refers to a loading device for loading and/or unloading an aircraft. The loading device comprises a base structure (1) with a longitudinal base axis, a first receiving unit (7) for receiving at least one object to be loaded and/or unloaded, and a second receiving unit (8) for receiving at least one further object to be loaded and/or unloaded. The first receiving unit (7) comprises a first transport device (11) configured for moving the at least one object into and/or out of the first receiving unit (7) along a first direction of movement essentially parallel to the longitudinal base axis. The second receiving unit (8) comprises a second transport device (11) configured for moving the at least one further object into and/or out of the second receiving unit (8) along a second direction of movement essentially parallel to the longitudinal base axis. The first receiving unit (7) and the second receiving unit (8) are movable around an axis of rotation essentially parallel to the longitudinal base axis along a receiving unit movement path. A first loading position and a second loading position are defined on the receiving unit movement path. The first loading position is above the second loading position and the first receiving unit (7) and the second receiving unit (8) are configured for loading and/or unloading the at least one object, respectively the at least one further object, in the first loading position and in the second loading position. Further, methods for loading an aircraft, for unloading an aircraft and for parallel loading and unloading of an aircraft are provided.
