Horror final moments of person 'sucked into plane's engine' in harrowing scenes
A person has died at Milan Bergamo airport this morning, forcing all flights to be suspended as investigators scramble to scene to work out how the incident unfolded A man has died after being "sucked into plane's engine" on a taxiway at a major European airport this morning. All flights at Italy's Milano Bergamo were suspended from 10.20am local time (9.20am BST) this morning following the harrowing incident. Officials are yet to confirm exactly what happened, but local media has reported that the man was being chased by police and ran onto the tarmac where he was allegedly sucked into an aeroplane's turbine. According to the reports, police were unable to stop him as he ran towards the aircraft that was already moving and preparing to take off. Budget airline Volotea, which was operating the flight, has since issued a statement addressing the incident and said they have launched an investigation. Volotea said: "We're investigating reports of an incident involving our flight V73511 BGY-OVD, which occurred on the ground after boarding was completed and ready for departure. We're aware that one individual has sustained serious injuries involving the aircraft engine. More information soon." The airport is one of Italy's busiest, being one of the main access routes for travellers taking holidays to the shopping capital Milan. The victim has been identified as a 35-year-old man, local media has reported. The plane involved in the accident is an Airbus A319. It was departing to Asturias in Spain when the man was fatally injured shortly after passengers had boarded. Emergency services have been seen out on the runway and taxiway of the airport after all flights were cancelled. Despite air traffic officially resuming at the airport, live departures information shows that the majority of flights scheduled for the next three hours are either delayed or cancelled. The 3.05pm Ryanair flight to Birmingham is currently not affected, though passengers are advised to check with their airline for the latest updates. Firefighters, airport technicians and police are currently investigating how the incident unfolded. It's still unclear how the passenger came to be on the tarmac, or whether he was a passenger or worker at the airport. The Airbus A319 can be equipped with two main types of engine - the CFM56-5B and the IAE V2500. Each engine's rotors can spin at nearly 15,000 rotations per minute (RPM). A significant portion of Milan's traffic is driven by budget airline Ryanair. Together with Milan Linate and Milan Malpensa, it is a part of the Milan airport system, which is the biggest in Italy in terms of passenger volume.

Embraer to showcase multi-mission medium transport KC-390 Millennium at LIMA 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: Embraer, a global leader in the aerospace industry, will display its KC-390 Millennium, the most advanced multi-mission tactical airlift in its class, at the 17th edition of Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) from May 20 to 24. Embraer Defence and Security president and CEO Bosco da Costa Junior said the KC-390 is a new generation military airlift with multi-mission capability, interoperability, reliability, low life-cycle cost, and high performance at its core. 'Embraer is proud to bring the KC-390 to LIMA 2025. The aircraft is gaining traction around the world, and we look forward to expanding our footprint in the Asia Pacific region,' he said in a statement today. According to the statement, the KC-390 is a new generation multi-mission aircraft designed and built to take on the demands of the 21st-century operating environment. 'The aircraft is the most advanced in its class and flies faster (470kts) and further on a standard crew duty day. It also carries more cargo (26 tonnes) compared to other medium-sized military cargo aircraft and is powered by IAE V2500 engines,' it said. Capable of performing reliably in Southeast Asia's diverse terrains and climate, the KC-390 can operate on temporary or unpaved runways, including packed earth, soil and gravel and in conditions ranging from humid to hot and high or cold and dry. 'It can perform a wide range of missions such as transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, humanitarian missions, firefighting and air-to-air refuelling both as a tanker and a receiver,' it said. Embraer's KC-390 is also equipped with a modern and comprehensive suite of sensors and communication equipment that support vital connectivity between aircraft, operational commands, and troops on the ground. 'Additionally, KC-390's robust integrated electronic warfare and self-protection system drive survivability. 'The aircraft has achieved an outstanding mission accomplishment rate of 99 per cent with low operational costs. Its multi-mission capability and interoperability are built-in by design, enabling the aircraft to be ready for all mission profiles by Air Forces,' it added.
