Two passenger jets from low-cost carrier FlyDubai and Bahrain based Gulf Air collided on the taxiway at Dubai International Airport early Thursday. FlyDubai said in a press statement that one of its Boeing 737-800, heading to Kyrgyzstan, found itself affected by “a minor incident” and forced to return to the stand.
It added that the passengers took a later flight, which departed six hours later. FlyDubai will work with the authorities to investigate the incident, adding that the collision damaged a wingtip on one of the aircraft. – KUNA
