A trainer aircraft operated by Carver Aviation crashed near Baramati airstrip in Maharashtra on Sunday, according to PTI. The two people aboard the aircraft, bearing registration VT-SEX, were rescued with non-serious injuries. The cause of the crash, which occurred at around 12.30 pm, is under investigation by police officials. This incident follows a similar crash seven months ago, where Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and four others died in a Learjet 45 crash at the same airstrip.

This is the third incident at the airstrip this year, following a crash of a Redbird Flight Training Academy trainer aircraft on May 13.
