To read the words 'A330' and 'GA ramp' in the same sentence rather surprises me. Was the main apron not available? Would an airline have parked an A330 in such a location?
This is the GA ramp:
Not a lot of room for something with a 60m wingspan, some 10m greater than that of a TriStar. No matter how many groundcrew are positioned to assist, without effective communication between them and the flight deck, they cannot be of much help.
An old 101 Sqn boss always warned us "There is no such thing as a taxying incident" - I hope that views are a little less extreme nowadays.
The damage is clearly going to take rather more than some speedtape to rectify - and isn't going to be cheap to repair. Is there a hangar big enough for an A330 at St. John's? With the coming of the Canadian winter, working on the aircraft is going to be extremely difficult.
If the aircraft was later 'moved by tug', then I can only wonder why it wasn't parked by tug in the first place.
