Minor Damage Reported After Planes Collide at Johannesburg Airport
Earlier this week, a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787-9 collided with a Turkish Airlines Airbus A340 plane at Johannesburg Airport. The incident, which occurred while an aircraft was under tow, has grounded both the planes. Photos of the incident show damage to both the A340’s tail and the wing of the 787. There also appears to be damage to one aircraft’s nose, presumably the 787’s.
The incident led to the cancellation of the Boeing 787’s return leg. It’s not clear how the accident has affected the Turkish Airlines schedule.
