On August 10, around 11:20 AM, in the general aviation area of Milan Linate airport, a service car belonging to the handling company collided with a private jet taxiing toward the runway. The aircraft involved was a Hawker Beechcraft 400A. No one was injured, neither among the crew and passengers of the aircraft nor the driver of the vehicle.

The car, a Fiat Panda, failed to stop in time and struck the nose of the aircraft. According to journalistic reconstructions based on airport security camera footage, the jet was proceeding as authorized by the control tower when the Panda approached from its left without any sign of braking. The causes of the incident are still under investigation: among the hypotheses put forward, though unverified, are a possible medical episode or distraction on the part of the driver.

The driver was a 54-year-old woman, an operator of the handling company, who was treated by emergency medical services in a state of agitation. Firefighters were alerted and intervened, but no significant operations were required.

To allow for inspections and reconstruction of the event, the airport temporarily suspended operations. Two arriving flights were diverted to nearby airports, one to Bergamo Orio al Serio and one to Malpensa. Airport operations returned to normal after approximately 30-40 minutes.

The incident prompted comments from the Fast Confsal union, which also referenced a similar recent case in Naples and highlighted growing complexity in apron management, with intense operational rhythms, understaffing, and difficult environmental conditions during the summer period. These observations reflect the union's position and do not constitute official findings on the causes of the incident.
