A Tui Airways Boeing 737-800 aircraft collided with a catering vehicle on the tarmac at Aberdeen International Airport on Friday 19 January after landing from Tenerife (flight BY1519). The incident occurred around 2:00 p.m. and resulted in visible damage to one of the aircraft’s wings. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Passenger reported a violent jolt during the incident, and a passenger noticed a crack in the wing. Due to the accident, the flight was delayed by 30 minutes as the aircraft remained on the tarmac and no further information came from the cockpit.
The flight was originally scheduled to make a short stopover in Aberdeen before returning to Tenerife. However, the scheduled departure time, an hour after landing, had to be postponed and the aircraft could not take off until the next morning after all safety checks had been completed.
