Two Qantas planes involved in a minor collision

A flight landing from Canberra (CBR/YSCB) clipped the wing of a stationary plane from Brisbane (BNE/YBBN)  as it approached the gate. The incident is understood to have occurred around 9pm on Sunday (local time) and involved two Boeing 737-800s.

"While approaching the gate at low speed, the wingtip of one aircraft has come into contact with the wingtip of another stationary aircraft at the adjacent gate," a Qantas spokesperson said.

"Customers and crew who were disembarking the stationary aircraft felt a jolt when the wingtips made contact. "After assessing the situation, the captain advised customers to continue to disembark as usual.

"Engineers are inspecting both aircraft and an investigation is underway."
No injuries were reported by customers or crew of either aircraft.
