Canadian media reported that the passenger opened the plane's door himself and fell, and Air Canada explained that all instructions related to security and safety and all procedures were followed before boarding the plane before the man fell from the plane.

The man was in a state of crisis

For its part, Peel Regional Police indicated that the man who caused this incident was in a state of crisis, noting that he suffered relatively minor injuries despite falling from a distance of 20 feet to the ground. He was immediately transferred to the hospital, and so far no charges have been brought against the man. Because of this incident.

This accident caused great concerns about the ease of opening the plane's door, as it was found that the passenger opened the plane's door directly instead of sitting in his seat.

Air Canada explained in an official statement circulated by several press agencies, that, “While boarding flight AC056, flying from Toronto to Dubai, while the plane was at the gate, a passenger boarded the plane normally, instead of heading to his seat.” Open the cabin door on the other side of the plane.”
