MUMBAI: A SpiceJet technician was killed at Kolkata airport after he got stuck in the main landing gear door of an aircraft he was working on.
According to sources, the accident occurred around 1.30am when 22-year-old technician, Rohit Pandey was working on the landing gear of a Bombardier Q400. “The doors closed, trapping him in,” said a source.
The accident follows a week of runway excursions and incidents involving SpiceJet aircraft, which has put the airline under DGCA scanner.
Last week, following a surprise surveillance, DGCA issued four show-cause notices to SpiceJet on poor training standards.
