Airport Worker Falls From Plane at Airport in Indonesia | 10 News First

A crew member has taken a terrifying plunge into an airport runway, after falling from an open aeroplane door after crew removed the stairs.

The flight crew of the TransNusa Airbus A320 in Indonesia had been preparing for take-off, with some colleagues moving a stepladder away from the boarded plane.

The unnamed worker, amid conversation, hadn't noticed the stepladder had been removed until he was already plummeting.

Early reports have indicated the injuries are not life-threatening, and the staffer is being treated in hospital.
