deplaned

Left the jet

Deplaned is the past tense of deplane, meaning to exit an aircraft after landing.

The word is standard airline jargon: Passengers deplaned through the rear exit.

Though some find it awkward—you don't "debus" or "detrain" as often—deplaned remains the industry term for disembarking from a plane.
