Canada Passenger Falls from Plane Before Takeoff, Causes Major Delay

The incident marks the second disruption on an Air Canada flight in less than a week, prompting a thorough investigation by the airline.

A passenger on an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Dubai opened the cabin door and fell approximately 20 feet to the tarmac before the plane took off.
The incident caused a nearly six-hour delay as staff attended to the injured passenger and investigated the situation.
Peel Regional Police and other emergency services were called to the scene, and the passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Air Canada confirmed that all approved boarding and cabin operating procedures were followed and an investigation is underway.
This is the second incident in less than a week involving disruptive behavior on an Air Canada flight, following an incident where a 16-year-old passenger attacked a family member, causing a flight diversion.
