The incident occurred Thursday morning as the plane’s engines were started for a flight to Kodinsk, a representative of the West Siberian Transportation Prosecutor’s Office told RIA-Novosti.
Despite a warning from a technician, the woman did not move away from the plane, and she remained unnoticed by the pilot, who started the engines, representative Natalya Krinitskaya told the news agency.
