An airline worker was injured after falling onto the runway after stepping out of a plane after the stepladder was removed.

Video shared on social media shows the moment the ground staffer fell from a TransNusa Airbus A320 at Jakarta Airport, Indonesia as the flight crew prepared for takeoff.

The worker allegedly saluted the crew for a safe flight while ground staff removed the mobile stairs from the plane, reports indicate.

Seemingly unaware that the steps had been moved, the agent, still talking with the crew, walked off the plane and fell straight to the tarmac.

The worker received medical treatment immediately and did not sustain life threatening injuries, a source told AirLive.net.
