Angry A320 Meets It's Waterloo With A Service Truck in SNN

News from Shannon Airport


An Airbus A320 was impaled by an unmanned serice truck at Shannon Airport yesterday morning.

The lifting platform decided it wanted to get up close and personal to the Airbus and went a little too close.

It created a number of new air vents on the starboard side of the aircraft between the leading edge of the main wing and the front cargo door!

The Airbus was also lifted off it's nose wheel during the incident.

There is substantial damage to the Aircraft with some new shapes complimenting the new air vents!

It was later towed to the Aerospace hangar for repair and I presume hiding!

I hope the person in charge of the truck is ok today!
