Ground collision at Manchester
It would appear that a baggage loading vehicle and a Qatar 787 had a coming together over the weekend at Manchester. Aircraft skin pierced and scrape damage. Aircraft now parked near the ex Monarch hangar.
Much scratching of heads on how to repair it as I believe thatthe airframces are a) composite and b) built in sections.
This is going to cost someone an awful lot of money.

Try TUI instead!
Boeing will fix it, they've done a few.
This happened to a Norwegian 787, presumably at LGW, last week as well. Friend of the family was due to fly on it, had a 24 hour delay while they sorted out a replacement aircraft.
The insurance premiums for ground handling companies is going to go through the roof when the repair bills and associated costs start rolling in for these composite repairs....they won't be quick or cheap!
