On Saturday morning, an Aviator Finland employee was killed in an accident at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. The accident occurred at around 5:00 a.m. in a closed apron area when the worker became trapped between an aircraft and a service vehicle during maintenance work.

The vehicle was used to empty the airplane toilet. Police and airport operators are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident and are assessing it as a possible case of fatality and endangerment of traffic safety, although no criminal negligence is suspected.

Finnair confirmed that the aircraft in question was one that had previously arrived in Helsinki from Tokyo and was being relocated for maintenance.
