A video capturing an airport staffer falling off a step ladder while disembarking from a plane in Indonesia has rapidly gained traction on social media. The footage shows a man, presumably an airline staff member, stepping out of the plane door while another colleague inadvertently pulls back the stepladder.
While News18, could not verify the video, the person who tweeted the video, mentioned the incident occurred in Indonesia and the staffer belonged to Transnusa Airlines.
However, this is not the first time such an accident happened due to the negligence of the staff at the airports.
Last year in April, a security agent working with airline AIX Connect, formerly known as Air Asia, died after falling while deboarding a plane from its rear door at Pune airport.
The airline staffer was identified as Vivin Anthony Dominic (34), a resident of Lohegaon, Pune.
In another similar incident that was reported in September 2023, a passenger fell off the stairs while stepping off the plane and broke her leg in two places.
The woman was using Ryanair, an Irish ultra-low-cost carrier while travelling from Seville to Alicante in Spain to meet her newborn grandson in February 2020 when the incident happened, El Periódico reported.
