A Windrose ATR 72-600 sustained minor damage as a result of ground handling operations while unloading at Lviv International Airport. The aircraft had just completed flight WRC163 from Kiev.
An angle of attack sensor was damaged by a handler after it was caught in their jacket. The sensor broke off from its mount and was gangling by its data cable. No other damage was found on the aircraft.
According to an investigation by the Ukrainian NBAAI, the damage to the aircraft occurred due to the failure of the ground handler to comply with the relevant safety regulations.
