At Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, an unidentified person was caught into the engine of a Cityhopper Embraer E190 as the plane was preparing to fly.
This was reported by The Sun newspaper.
"The plane, carrying up to 104 passengers, was scheduled to take off for Billund in Denmark at 2.25pm. Witnesses reported there was a "hellish noise" and then plumes of smoke as the person was pulled into the jet turbine. An airport employee also told the outlet they saw a person jump into the engine just after the crew had completed the safety instructions. It is still unclear at this stage whether the victim was a passenger, employee or someone else on the tarmac," the statement said.
It is noted that a police spokesman said it was too early to say whether it was an accident or a possible suicide. Local media has suggested the victim could have been an employee who was helping to push back the plane.
Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is the third largest in Europe.
