Summary
A ground worker died Monday at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport after being struck by a French Bee Airbus A350 during ground operations before Flight BF5761 to Paris-Orly.
French Bee said the accident happened during the aircraft's pushback, while airport operator ADM said the exact circumstances remain under investigation.
The victim worked for ground-handling company Samsic, and ADM said it provided support to employees and passengers who witnessed the accident.
Canada's Transportation Safety Board and the Quebec coroner are investigating, with French Bee and ADM saying they are cooperating with authorities.
The death follows two other fatal airport incidents in North America this year, including a Delta employee's death in Orlando and a Frontier jet strike in Denver.
