Oscar Robayo, a Samsic ramp worker, died after a Monday evening accident involving a French Bee Airbus A350 at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport.
7:30 p.m. emergency calls brought responders to the scene; a Montreal police official told The Canadian Press Robayo was struck while the plane was reversing and taken to a hospital.
French Bee said the accident involved the aircraft and a pushback vehicle, but the precise circumstances have not been established.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada have opened investigations, while Transport Minister Steve MacKinnon said a ministerial observer would track the probe.
Aéroports de Montréal said it was supporting employees and passengers who witnessed the accident, underscoring renewed scrutiny of ramp-worker safety despite such serious incidents being rare.
