  • Man sucked into jet engine

    From Aviation HQ@2:292/854 to All on Wed Jul 9 23:28:42 2025
    The airport near the Italian city of Bergamo was temporarily closed on Tuesday morning following the death of a man who, for reasons still unknown, was caught in the engine of a plane. The plane was an Airbus A319 operated by the Spanish airline Volotea.

    The exact cause of the accident remains unclear. Some Italian media outlets have reported the man was a ground employee, but this has not been confirmed.

    Milan Bergamo Airport is a regional airport primarily used by budget airlines such as Ryanair.

    Several flights were delayed or canceled due to the incident.
