A 35-year-old man lost his life after being sucked into the engine of a passenger jet on the runway of Milano Bergamo Airport this Tuesday morning (July 8), triggering immediate suspension of all flight operations at one of Italy’s busiest airports.
The incident occurred at approximately 10:20 a.m. local time, just as Volotea flight V73511 was preparing to depart to Asturias, Spain.
Reports indicate that the man—who has not been publicly identified—was not a passenger, airport worker, or affiliated with the airline.
