deboarding
Leaving the plane
Deboarding is the process of exiting a vehicle, especially an aircraft or ship.
The word is standard in airline and transit contexts: Please remain seated until deboarding is complete.
Deplaning and disembarking mean the same thing, with disembarking sounding more formal and deplaning specific to aircraft.
