deboarded

Left the plane

Deboarded is the past tense of deboard, meaning to exit a vehicle—typically an airplane, train, or bus.

The word is standard in travel contexts: Passengers deboarded through the rear exit.

Some consider it bureaucratic jargon, preferring simpler alternatives like "got off" or "exited," but deboarded remains common in airline and transit announcements.
