A passenger boarding bridge is capable of avoiding docking by backward travel of travel wheels. The passenger boarding bridge includes: a rotunda connected to a terminal building and supported to be rotatable horizontally; a tunnel unit, whose proximal end is connected to the rotunda, that is extendable and retractable; a cab provided at a distal end of the tunnel unit and configured to be docked with an aircraft; travel wheels supporting the tunnel unit and configured to travel forward and backward in changeable directions; an operating device that is operated to input an operation command to the travel wheels; and a determiner configured to repeatedly perform determination whether or not the current direction of the forward travel of the travel wheels is within a predetermined range during a period from when the cab starts being moved from a predetermined position until the cab is docked with the aircraft.
