Trainer aircraft crashes near Baramati airstrip in Maharashtra, two rescued
A small training airplane crashed near an airport called Baramati in Maharashtra, India.
The airplane was operated by a private company named Carver Aviation.
The crash happened on a Sunday at around 12:30 in the afternoon.
Two people were inside the airplane, and both were rescued.
They had some injuries, but the injuries were not very serious.
Nobody died in the crash.
The police are investigating what went wrong and are checking if the airplane had a technical problem.
This is the same airport where politician Ajit Pawar died in a plane crash about seven months ago.
Another training airplane also crashed near the same airport in May, and that pilot was safe too.
So this was the third crash near the airstrip this year, and people are worried about safety.
A trainer aircraft operated by private company Carver Aviation crashed near Baramati airstrip in Maharashtra's Pune district on Sunday at around 12.30 pm.
Both occupants on board were rescued and sustained injuries that were not reported to be serious; no casualties were reported.
A senior police official said an investigation was underway to determine whether the aircraft developed a technical snag or had other technical problems.
The incident comes seven months after NCP chief Ajit Pawar was killed in a crash during a landing attempt at the same airstrip on January 28.
Sunday's crash was the third incident at the airstrip this year, following a trainer aircraft crash on May 13 in which a trainee pilot escaped safely.
