A shocking incident during turnaround of a TransNusa Airbus A320 (registered PK-TLB) at Jakarta Airport, Indonesia was caught on camera. A ground staffer, most likely the redcap, saluted the crew for a safe flight while ground staff were moving away the mobile stairs from the aircraft.
Unaware of the gap that lied ahead of him, he fell a few meters onto the tarmac. Social media comments indicate that the agent didn’t sustain life threatening injuries.
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.
