Catering Truck As a Wheelchair Lift in Montevideo Airport

After arriving in Montevideo and not having a jetway/jet bridge to use, the aircraft was met with an old beat up catering truck to get me off the plane through the forward right door. Although the idea seemed a little backwards at first, it really worked out very well and the attendants were very friendly and helpful. My power wheelchair was waiting for me in the baggage claim/customs area just a short walk from where the truck lift let me down.
At the beginning of the video after the fire truck passes you can see the American Airlines 767 that we had just arrived in from Miami.
