Tragedy struck Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) this week when an airport worker was fatally struck by a passenger jet during ground operations. The incident, which involved an Airbus A350 operated by French Bee ahead of its departure to Paris-Orly, occurred during the aircraft’s pushback. The employee, who worked for the ground-handling company Samsic, was killed on the job, prompting a joint investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) and the Quebec coroner’s office. Both French Bee and Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) have expressed deep condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones, pledging full cooperation with authorities. ADM is also providing support to employees and passengers who witnessed the harrowing event, which echoes recent fatal incidents at major North American airports, including a Delta Air Lines employee killed by a tug vehicle in Orlando and a person struck by a Frontier Airlines jet in Denver.
