A British traveller has died after falling from a plane door onto the runway of a Turkish airport.

Staff at Dalaman Airport, in southwest Turkey, were trying to remove the 30-year-old from the flight when he fell from an exit.

Terrible, such a waste of a young life. Horrendous for the staff too.

This is truly awful, im not trying to be negative here but he lost his ticket the article said for his orignal flight, you dont have a ticket these days, your normally on a passenger list for a flight. i read somewhere else that he took his own life after being at Dalaman for 3 days then being removed from a flight...sad for the chap and his family

A tragic story. What I find puzzling is that you normally walk down a covered airbridge  at Dalaman  to the plane.

I think the inference is that this was down to Turkish staff but surely it would have been staff from the flight eg. Tui or Thomas Cook.  Info is sketchy but sad nonetheless.  Surely if the poor soul was in a bad way either health wise or under the influence of drink/drugs, he shouldn’t have gotten as far as the aircraft.

Most UK media outlets are suggesting that he jumped over a barrier while inside the terminal building.

Jet2 have released a statement in which they say the person was not injured either inside their aircraft or in the vicinity of their aircraft.

Three UK tourist deaths in the space of a week, ministry for tourism will be doing all they can to shift blame/keep it hushed/etc etc.  Nonetheless, sad loss of life irrespective of circumstances.

Latest report in the Daily Mail states that the man was removed from the aircraft but jumped from a ledge in the airport. Other tourists say he was shouting that he wanted to end it all.   No doubt we will hear more about this later.
