After landing the aircraft was taxied onto Stand 8 with marshaller assistance. The parking brake was
applied and the engines were shut down. A 'Prime Mover' tug vehicle then manoeuvred to position a
set of mobile steps at the left rear door for passenger disembarkation. During this operation, however, the driver of the tug inadvertently towed the steps into the side of the aircraft, scraping, denting and puncturing the aircraft's skin. The passengers, none of whom were injured, disembarked normally.
Engineering examination of the tug and the steps after the incident revealed that both units were fully serviceable.
