You need the facts? Here are the facts.
Fact 1. The crew of SQ029 took an incorrect taxi route through the parking bays and not via the taxiway they were directed to be on.
Fact 2. ATC advised the crew of SQ029 that they had taken the wrong taxi route and the crew admitted their mistake.
Fact 3. Whilst taxing in the parking bay area SQ029 had a collision with 2 pieces of ground equipment.
Fact 4. Seven minutes after takeoff the crew of SQ029 was informed by ATC of their ground collision. The crew decided to continue the flight to Singapore and not return to Taipei for a precautionary landing to check for damage. The crew placed the lives of the passengers and crew in grave danger as they had no way on confirming the structural integrity of the aircraft.
Fact 5. When the aircraft landed in Singapore the aircraft was inspected and it was confirmed that a collision had occurred and that they wing had suffered damage.
Comment: Everyone makes mistakes, there are not many of us who have been flying for a while who could admit that they have never taken an incorrect taxi route but to be informed of a ground collision whilst on the climb out and then not return for a precautionary landing is inexcusably bad airmanship and it is shocking that this culture still exists in first world airlines.
This incident needs to be studied in depth by SIA and this ever present unwritten SOP that schedules and profits are more important than safety needs to be abolished before another avoidable accident occurs.
Straighten up and fly right SIA
