A Boeing 747-400, operated by Nasair, was arriving at Nouakchott, Mauritania, after a ferry flight from Jeddah. The aircraft was to operate a passenger flight to Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
After landing, the aircraft vacated the runway via taxiway A and proceeded to the ramp. The aircraft was guided towards parking position no.6. While being ordered to move forward, the aircraft hit a mast with the left wing tip, damaging the left wing.

- Lack of continuous training of handling personnel.
- Lack of resources made available to the handling teams.
- The fact that position 6 is partially out of the visual field of the tower controller.
