The Boeing 737-8AS departed from Valencia Airport (LEVC), landed at Santiago Airport (LEST) and was parked on stand 11 of the apron. At approximately 13:25 h, the passengers began to disembark via the aircraft’s forward stairs. One of the passengers, who was carrying a suitcase in one hand and a coat in the other, fell down the last three steps of the staircase.
The passenger landed face down, with the lower half of his body on the stairs and the upper half on the apron. He suffered several abrasions on the palms of both hands and his right knee and nose, in addition to cuts on his nose and lips.
Assistance from a nurse was requested; however, as no nurses were available at the airport at that time, an ambulance was called and arrived some 30 minutes later. The passenger was taken to the hospital, where he received stitches for his cuts.
Causes/contributing factors
The investigation has determined that the cause of the incident was the passenger descending the stairs with a suitcase in one hand and a coat in the other, which was not inaccordance with the operator’s disembarkation instructions.
