Person Injured After Being Drawn Into Plane Engine, Airport Temporarily Closed

Person Seriously Injured After Being Drawn Into Plane Engine at Milan Bergamo Airport
A man sustained serious injuries after being drawn into the engine of a Volotea Airbus A319-111 on the taxiway at Milan Bergamo Airport on Tuesday morning. The aircraft was preparing for departure to Asturias, Spain, when the incident occurred, prompting an immediate suspension of all flight operations at Italy’s third-busiest airport.
The identity and status of the injured individual remain unclear, with authorities yet to confirm whether he was a passenger, airport employee, or an unauthorized person on the tarmac. Italian media reports, including Corriere Della Sera, suggest the man was approximately 35 years old. SACBO, the airport’s operator, halted flights at 10:20 a.m. local time, citing “a problem that occurred on the taxiway.” Although operations resumed around midday, delays and cancellations persisted throughout the afternoon as the airport worked to restore normal schedules.
Volotea issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter), acknowledging the incident involving flight V73511 from Bergamo to Asturias. The airline confirmed that the event took place on the ground after boarding was completed and that one individual had sustained serious injuries related to the aircraft engine. An investigation is ongoing, with further information expected.
Investigation and Industry Implications
The Italian civil aviation authority, alongside law enforcement agencies, has launched a formal investigation focusing on security protocols and how the individual accessed the restricted area. The findings may lead to increased scrutiny of airport safety measures and regulatory oversight, not only at Milan Bergamo but across the aviation sector.
While such incidents are rare, similar tragedies have occurred in recent years. In 2023, a worker was fatally injured after being drawn into a Delta plane engine in San Antonio, Texas. Earlier this year, a fatality occurred at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport under comparable circumstances. These events have intensified concerns regarding ground safety and operational procedures at airports worldwide.
The repercussions of Tuesday’s incident extend beyond immediate operational disruptions. Airlines and airports may face regulatory investigations, insurance claims, and potential reputational damage. The aviation market could respond with heightened scrutiny of safety practices, potentially influencing passenger confidence and stock valuations. Competitors may also implement enhanced safety protocols and issue public reassurances to maintain customer trust.
Milan Bergamo Airport, which handled over 17 million passengers in 2024, remains under close observation as authorities continue their inquiry. Further updates from SACBO and Volotea are anticipated regarding the circumstances of the incident and any subsequent changes to safety procedures.
