Now you thought you had a bad day...Picture our indian friend Vijay who comes on duty at Chennai Airport and is carrying out his inspections on cleaning of aircraft at 2.30 am. 'Look' he says 'they've bought a new jeep' and is surprised and delighted to find the keys in the ignition. No one will notice he thinks as he jumps in and thinks this is so cool I'll be out of the rain and get my work done really fast with all the airplanes on the ramp.
Speed is irresistable, the jeep is flashy, he is checking the steering when ..oh no while talikng the hairpin bend at Brands Hatch or Minneapolis in his little Indian imagination he tips the brakes and aquaplanes...
Please see attached photos..
Vijay had no licence or security pass to drive 'airside', the jeep was not his although it belonged to the company he worked for. Of course the damage was done to another companies airplane, namely mine.
The conservative estimate for insurance is currently 18.5 million US Dollars.. Vijay earns 9000 rupees a month ($200)and you thought you were having a bad day!!
Case is sadly genuine happened Monday Morning here 0300 local time..I am stuffed as Airplane may well be written off. Team from Toulouse flew out today to assess...can't you feel those costs mounting.
