A man died after being sucked into the engine of a plane preparing to take off at Bergamo Airport in northern Italy yesterday, an airport spokesperson told AFP. The victim, who was "neither a passenger nor an airport employee," forced his way onto the runway, where he was "pursued" in vain by airport security, according to the spokesperson for airport management company SACBO. According to Italy's Corriere della Sera daily, the man was a 35-year-old Italian.

Earlier in the day, Spanish airline Volotea wrote on social media that its flight from Bergamo to Asturias in Spain was involved in an "incident" at 10:35 am (0835 GMT).
