In the early morning of 23 November, Brussels Airlines Airbus A330-200 registered OO-SFU hade safely operated flight SN382 from Yaoundé and Douala to Brussels and had docked on-time at the B gates of Brussels Airport.
In order to operate its next flight SN551 to Toronto, it had to be moved to the T gates. A push-back truck was called to carry out that transfer, but unfortunately, it hit the nose wheel of the aircraft, which was badly damaged. The flight to Toronto was cancelled and the passengers accommodated on alternative flights.
Brussels Airlines maintenance is in contact with Airbus to evaluate the extent of the damage and order the needed spare parts.
