On a 737-800 aircraft, how many flight attendants must remain on board during passenger deplaning?

On a 737-800 aircraft, it is mandated that at least two flight attendants must remain on board during passenger deplaning. This requirement is crucial for ensuring passenger safety and assisting with emergency protocols if necessary. Having two flight attendants present allows for adequate monitoring of the deplaning process, ensuring that it is conducted smoothly and that any potential issues, such as a medical emergency or a passenger’s need for assistance, can be addressed immediately. Additionally, the presence of multiple crew members enhances communication, both with passengers and between the crew and ground personnel, further contributing to the safety and efficiency of the deplaning process.
