The aircraft was on the stand awaiting the arrival of the passengers. Catering had been loaded and the catering vehicle was vacating the area when it struck the right wing tip of the aircraft causing it to pivot to the right, the nose moving an estimated distance of about two and a half feet, despite being attached to the tug. A small amount of fuel had leaked from the damaged area. The Airport Fire Services were promptly on the scene, and there were no reported injuries to any of the personnel involved.
