Air Europa flight UX6007, a Boeing 737-800 (EC-MJU) and Condor flight DE1773, a Boeing 757-300 (D-ABOJ) were damaged in a ground collision at Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI).
At the time of the accident UX6007 was taxiing to the terminal after landing on runway 06L. At the same time, DE1773 was taxiing to the holding point on runway 06R for departure.
At one point during the taxi, both aircraft coincided at intersection P, with the Condor aircraft stopped and the Air Europa aircraft moving. The left-hand winglet of UX6007 impacted the right-hand elevator of DE1773.
Causes/contributing factors
The probable cause of the accident involving the EC-MJU and D-ABOJ aircraft was a lack of adherence to the taxi procedures, specifically, the crew's failure to correctly assess the available space at Gate P, which led the EC-MJU aircraft to attempt to enter while the gate was blocked.
