Yesterday evening a former Flybe Bombardier Q400 collided with a Loganair Embraer 145 at Aberdeen International Airport.
“A Loganair Embraer 145 regional jet, parked with no passengers or crew members aboard, was hit by a former Flybe Bombardier Q400 aircraft, which we understand was being prepared for departure after being stored at Aberdeen Airport. The nose of the Q400 impacted the rear starboard side of the Embraer, becoming lodged underneath and lifting the right main gear off the ground.
Loganair Statement
The nose of the ex-Flybe aircraft collided with the Loganair aircraft under her right engine, lifting it off the ground.
“The most important thing is that no-one was injured in the incident; with the crew working on the ex-Flybe aircraft being safe and well, yet understandably shaken.”
Loganair Statement
No passengers were on-board the Loganair aircraft and no-one was injured in the incident.
