🛬

Airplane Arrival Emoji 🛬

Angled downward, wheels reaching for the runway below — this is the plane coming in, not going out. It's the 'just landed' counterpart to its departure twin, used for wrapping up a trip, checking back in after time away, and finally being back on solid, familiar ground again.

What 🛬 means

A downward airplane designed with a blue, black, and white body, tilting towards the right onto a visible runway. The 🛬 Airplane Arrival emoji represents a landing airplane. It suggests arrival, reaching a destination, and a sense of completing an air journey.

How and when to use it

Use 🛬 while suggesting 'come down' or 'coming down'. For example, "Geez. All of the stuff I had been avoiding came down on me like a hurricane 🛬" or, "Aight. That's enough soaring. Come down and face your real challenges 🛬".
Although not in a very positive connotation, 🛬 could be used to signify a sense of 'stooping low' or 'stooping down'. For instance, "Whoa. I knew he was trash. But this low? Wow 🛬".
🛬 could also be used to suggest that you're jetlagged. Like, "Ayo. Could we postpone the party to tomorrow? I'm heavily jetlagged 🛬".
You could also use 🛬 while sharing social media posts/stories of your landing airplane - it can be a picture, video, boomerang, anything.
While texting someone about the next time you'll be going to a place, you can use 🛬. For example, "We'll be coming down in Jan!! 🛬".
