Hi

Seen an EK A380 on a remote at an all morning. EK8 departed on time this morning so wondering why it's on stand? Did it go tech last night?

Thanks

Oh dear?

Do you know when this happened? Or when it will be back in service?

Catering trucks have been hitting aircraft at Heathrow for the last 60 years or more.

Especially when the -400 came into service! it had a different wing root fairing and the amount of speed tape that came into use was quite amazing!!
