A Tragic Incident Halts Flights at Milan Bergamo Airport

Milan Bergamo Airport, ItalyTue Jul 08 2025
A shocking event at Milan Bergamo Airport led to a two-hour shutdown on Tuesday. A man was tragically pulled into a jet engine, causing all flights to stop. The airport is about 37 miles east of Milan. Police and firefighters rushed to the scene. The exact details of what happened are still being looked into. The airport said flights were stopped because of an issue on the taxiway. They did not give more details. The shutdown lasted from 10:20 a. m. to noon local time. During this time, at least eight flights were canceled. Other flights heading to the airport were sent to nearby airports like Bologna, Verona, and Milan Malpensa. The plane involved was an Airbus A319. It was operated by a low-cost airline called Volotea. The flight was supposed to go from Bergamo to Asturias in northern Spain. The incident happened right after the plane finished boarding and was moving away from the terminal. Reports say the man was not a passenger or an airport worker. He somehow got past security and ran toward the moving plane. Authorities think he may have intended to take his own life. They have not released his identity yet. This event raises questions about airport security. How did the man get past security? What measures can be taken to prevent such incidents? It's important to think about these issues to ensure safety at airports.
