How to Cram an Extra 40 Passengers on a Flight

I assumed the bus had rolled away without a driver but I was wrong. Someone was driving...

"A coach transporting Jet Airways cabin crew at the Kolkata airport accidentally collided with a stationary aircraft of another airline," it added.

Air India said it was a clear fogless morning when the Jet Airways tarmac bus intruded into the slot marked at bay 32 and hit the aircraft VT-ABO (ATR 42).

Oh, I thought this was going to be about Spirit or Frontier.

Maybe they should use one these so they can pass the ATR without damaging it. The driver probably just finished his TUK TUK (BAJAJ) shift and forgot the dimensions of the new earth vessel..
I like the School Bus, at least the driver must be very fit.

New Delhi, December 27: Almost five days after a Jet Airways bus had rammed into an Air India ATR aircraft at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, the Air India’s recovery team finally managed to separate the two on Sunday morning.

It was only after almost 100 hours that Air India’s recovery team from the Mumbai Engineering division and the engineering team of Kolkata could separate the aircraft engine from the bus with the help a balloon type equipment to pull the bus from the aircraft engine.

100 hours? I could have saved them a bunch of time. Just give me the keys to the bus, and I'll have it out of there in 30 seconds or so.

My guess is someone offered the driver $5USD to take them straight to their seat.
