Thursday, May 16, 2024 - An airline worker was injured after falling several feet from an aeroplane onto the runway.
Video shared on social media shows the
moment the ground staffer fell from a TransNusa Airbus A320 at Jakarta Airport,
Indonesia, as the flight crew prepared for takeoff.
The worker allegedly saluted the crew for a
safe flight and began stepping out of the plane, unaware that ground staff had
removed the mobile stairs from the plane.
The agent, still talking with the crew,
walked off the plane and fell many feet down to the tarmac.
The worker received medical treatment
immediately and did not sustain life threatening injuries, a source told
AirLive.net.
The incident is understood to be in
violation of aviation rules which reportedly state that workers should not
remove a ladder while an aircraft door is still open.
Jakarta Airport authorities have launched an
investigation into the incident and have “assured measures” to prevent future
accidents, Aviation24.be reported.
A staff member plummeted from the L1 door of a TransNusa Airbus A320 as the step ladder was abruptly removed without proper coordination, leading to the terrifying fall. Social media reports confirm that his injuries are not life-threatening.
