A mechanic was sucked into a Boeing jet engine and killed at an airport, it's been reported.

Abolfazl Amiri was carrying out routine maintenance work on Varesh Airline's Boeing 737-500 when the horrific incident happened.

The aircraft had just landed at Chabahar international airport in Iran, after having departed Tehran at 7.15am, when it was due to undergo a check.

According to reports, one of the engines was started with the cover flaps open in order to run the test.

However, despite a safety perimeter being set up to protect workers, Amiri was sucked into the engine and died.

It's understood that he had returned to the engine after realising he had forgotten one of his tools.

He was pulled into the engine and killed before it became engulfed in flames.

The plane remained on the ground for a week while it underwent repairs.

The aviation authority in Iran has now launched an investigation into the shocking incident.

This comes just a few weeks after an airport employee at Amsterdam airport was pulled into a plane's engine and killed.

On 29 May, it was reported that passengers and workers at the airport had witnessed the gruesome death, though without word of what went wrong at that time.

The following day, however, the police released a statement confirming they hd reason to believe the worker's death was a suicide.

In the statement, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee explained their findings from their investigation into the matter, ultimately concluding that the man’s death was not an accident, but rather a 'deliberate' act by the airport employee.

"The deceased man has been identified as an employee of a company operating at the airport,” the statement read, “The investigation has revealed that he intentionally climbed into the engine, indicating this is a case of suicide.”

The employee’s death stunned the passengers and his fellow crew members, who noted to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that they heard a 'hellish noise' upon the employee’s death, as well as saying that several people witnessed the disturbing death firsthand on Wednesday.

The man’s death took place at 3pm local time on 29 May at the Schiphol Airport, the biggest airport in the Netherlands.

The statement from the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee concluded: “Out of respect for the victim and their loved ones, no further statements will be made."
