Abstract: An aircraft boarding handrail that is affixable to an aircraft fuselage having an entry and exit staircase assembly formed in a cabin door of the aircraft fuselage is disclosed. The aircraft boarding handrail includes a rail member and a mounting structure coupled to the rail member and configured to secure the rail member to the aircraft fuselage. The mounting structure includes a guide pin that interfits with a guide pin slot of a doorframe of the cabin door, a mounting bracket having a notch formed therein constructed to interfit with a staircase support strut mount of the entry and exit staircase assembly, a latch arm coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be rotatable between an open position and a closed position to selectively provide access to and close off the notch, and a quick release pin to lock the latch arm in place when in the closed position.
