(CNA) SINGAPORE: Two Singapore Airlines planes hit each other's
wings while preparing for take-off at the city-state's Changi
Airport but no one was injured, the carrier said in a statement
Sunday.
"It is reported that the wingtips of two aircraft came into contact
while both aircraft were taxiing at low speed," company spokesman
Stephen Forshaw said.
Both Boeing 777 aircraft suffered minor damage in the accident
early Saturday morning and the passengers were transferred to other
aircraft for their flights to Rome and Copenhagen.
The airline gave no details on the number of passengers who were
onboard when the incident occurred.
Forshaw said an investigation was underway with pilots of both
aircraft assisting the relevant authorities. - AFP/ac
