Incident happened on stand 116 at 13:30. An elevator damaged the forward hold while approaching the aircraft. It actually pushed the aircraft one foot towards the jetty which was attached at the time.
The aircraft "DU" was taken out of service for further inspection as was the Elevator. There was obviously a delay in getting the baggage offloaded.

Yes the Police do attend as do the BAA and both take reports and this in turn may lead to suspension of the airside drving permit. Also the AAIB are notified if there is substantial damage or an incident has occured with pax on board.

Not too many details can be given but i thought i would give you an update.
