Narrative: An Airbus A319-132 (reg. PT-TMA, msn 4000, opby. LATAM Airlines Brasil, with 86 passengers and 5 crew), due to perform flight LA3176, was cleared for pushback from parking position 11. Right after, an Airbus A320-271N (reg. PR-XBG, msn 11725, opby. LATAM Airlines Brasil, with 78 passengers and 5 crew), due to perform flight LA3004, was cleared for taxi (after pushing back from parking position 8) via taxiways Mike and Lima to the holding point for runway 35L, but requested taxiing via twy. November instead to avoid manoeuvring around maintenance work on twy. Mike, which it was cleared for. While taxiing, PR-XBG's right wingtip collided against the tail cone and horizontal stabiliser of PT-TMA abeam parking position 11 during the latter's pushback, causing minor damage to both aircraft. The aircraft were sent to maintenance and the damage has since been fixed.
