Istanbul taxi accident


An Asiana Airlines Airbus A330-323 (HL7792) and a THY Turkish Airlines Airbus A321-231 suffered substantial damage in a ground contact accident at Istanbul-Atatürk International Airport, Turkey.
The A321 had arrived from Ercan as flight TK969 and arrived at the gate at 14:47 UTC. At the same time the A330 had commenced taxiing to the runway. Flight OZ552 was returning to Seoul, South Korea. While taxiing past the A321, the right hand wing tip impacted the the vertical stabilizer of TK969.
The A321's vertical stabilizer was knocked over entirely and the A330's wing tip sustained serious damage.
