Trainer Aircraft Crashes Near Baramati Airstrip During Training Exercise, No Injuries
A trainer aircraft operated by Carver Aviation crashed near the Baramati airstrip in Maharashtra during a training exercise on August 9, 2026. The aircraft veered off the runway after failing to stop during rejected take-off drills, sustaining minor damage. Both pilot and cadet onboard escaped unharmed. This is the second such incident at Baramati this year, following the fatal January crash that killed former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others. Authorities are investigating the cause, and plans to upgrade the airport's infrastructure are underway.
