An engineer at Mumbai airport died after being sucked into the engine of an Air India plane, the company said.
The
deadly incident happened late Wednesday as the Airbus A319 was being
towed backward from the parking bay in preparation for taxiing out, said
Anil Mehta, an Air India official.
The
engineer, Ravi Subramanian, was standing near the landing gear under
the plane's nose as he supervised the process, Mehta told CNN.
Passengers had boarded the aircraft for a flight to the city of Hyderabad. It wasn't clear if any of them saw what happened.
Air
India officials declined to give any further details, saying the
country's civil aviation regulator is investigating the engineer's
death.
