Plane is repaired and scheduled to depart later tonight... June 2.
Airport is suggesting it was the fire truck at fault... parked too close. The area is rather tight at the end of the ramp.
Airport spokesperson will only say the insurance companies are working out who will pay the bill for the repair.
The welcome was for the first 787 to land at TPA and the first JAL flight... also for the national soccer team that chartered the flight.
As of now and for the foreseeable future, all 'greetings' are suspended.
That is what is being reported on the local news.
