An investigation has been launched after two Ryanair aircraft were damaged when they collided on the ground a Stansted.
One Boeing 737 was approaching the stand and the other was pushing back when the incident happened on Saturday morning.
The wing-tip of one aircraft and the tail-cone of another “made contact”, a Ryanair spokesman told the BBC.
Passengers were put on other flights after a three-hour delay.
No passengers or crew were injured, an airport spokesman confirmed. The Air Accident Investigation Board is investigating.
The incident involved an aircraft heading to Warsaw and one from Frankfurt Hahn that had just landed. Both were 737-800s, which can carry up to 189 passengers.
One passenger on the Warsaw-bound flight reportedly said on Twitter: “Huge loud crashing noise and totally felt the crush sitting at the back. Thank God it only hit the wing as if it was the body of the plane it’d been apocalypse.”
