I believe that was the first, though I guess there may have been a few other attempts at it. Certainly the World Port was using a bbidge (not covered, but a a boarding bridge) by 1960. TWA's T5 had enclosed jetways, and that opened in 1962. They would certainly have been around back then. Whether they were in use by those airlines at those airports, though, I cannot say.
