A person has died in a horrific incident at Milan Bergamo Airport after reportedly being pulled into an aircraft engine on a taxiway.
Flight operations at the airport — Italy’s third-busiest — were abruptly suspended at 10:20am local time (9:20am BST) following what operators SACBO have described only as a “serious incident.”
While the exact circumstances have not yet been officially confirmed, multiple reports suggest the individual was sucked into a plane’s turbine as the aircraft prepared for take-off, reports the Mirror.
It remains unclear whether the victim was a passenger or a member of airport staff.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Milan Bergamo Airport said: “SACBO announces that flight operations at Milan Bergamo Airport were suspended at 10:20 am due to a problem that occurred on the taxiway. The causes of the problem are currently being investigated by the authorities.”
