Exclamation Eurofly Airbus A330 damaged in incident at Zanzibar Airport

Eurofly Airbus A330-200 had winglet severely damaged (now removed) by Precision Air ATR 5H-PWC which was taxiing at the time. The tailfin of the ATR impacted the right-hand wingtip of the Eurofly Airbus. It is not known whether the ATR received bad marshalling instruction which led to the collision. The parking situation in Zanzibar has been extremely chaotic in recent times, especially when large aircraft like Boeing 767 and Airbus 330's are on the ramp and industry sources suggest that this was just an accident waiting to happen. The matter will now be investigated by the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority.
