Second aircraft mishap at Baramati airfield since Ajit Pawar’s fatal crash
On Sunday, a second aircraft mishap occurred at the Baramati airstrip, following the fatal crash of then Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar in January. A training aircraft belonging to the Carver Aviation Academy skidded off the runway while taxiing for take-off. The trainee pilot, involved in the incident, was unharmed.
Superintendent of Police Sandeep Singh Gill stated that initial information indicates the aircraft accelerated and lost control, missing the turn towards the runway. The weather during the incident was sunny and clear, with no reported injuries. This latest accident follows a crash-landing on May 13, where a training aircraft reportedly collided with a light pole after a technical glitch, resulting in no serious injuries to the pilot.
On January 28, a Learjet 45 operated by VSR Ventures Pvt Ltd crashed while operating a flight from Mumbai to Baramati, killing Ajit Pawar and four others.
