I have never heard the term 'enplaned' in my entire life, and I've been around for several decades. Don't they mean 'boarded' or 'on-boarded'?

Emplaned sounds like an industry word, but maybe OP just made it up 🤷

Perhaps 'deplaned' is more common?

I hear that one on occasion.

Deplaned is usually not used for passengers just getting off a plane though. Deplaning a passenger typically refers to throwing them off the plane before takeoff because they're behaving badly.

It’s nice to have an equal number of both. Like “takeoffs” and “landings”

I have to imagine numbers skew at the edges, people die or are born on planes.
