Plane collision at Ben Gurion Airport
German plane backs up into El Al passenger jet on tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport. (video) Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport was the scene of an aircraft collision Wednesday morning, when two planes backed into one another on the tarmac. The incident occurred when a Boeing 737 operated by Germania Airlines which had been scheduled to take off for Berlin backed out from the terminal to taxi out to the runway. -50% read more: Plane collision at Ben Gurion Airport - Israel National News |

When we had tug caused aircraft damage during a pushback a couple of years back, the airport authority came good for a large part of the damage cost. There were musings that in addition to two wing walkers we assigned, we should have assigned a tug walker too. I suggested that there would then be risk of the tug walker getting run over!

Shouldn't it read "was backed into" rather than "backed into"?

Is it an easy fix to replace the tail fin?
Perhaps El Al will help. :O |

The fin may be relatively easy to replace (when they find one!) but the attachment points might be a tad stress loaded! :}

bad news for germania for the start of the summer season but they are in the right place
bedek IAI can prob fit them in for a quick tail change |
look to be that El Al backed into rather than was backed into

I wonder if we should leave a JAL or China Airlines shoddy repair warning comment for PPRuNe readers circa 2038(???)

That's consistent with the photos. I would expect a different pattern of damage had the 737 been stationary and hit sideways by the 767 moving backwards. German plane collides with El Al jet on Tel Aviv tarmac; no injuries |
