The aircraft was parked on stand C16 at Terminal 1, London Heathrow Airport, in preparation for
a scheduled public transport flight to Brussels. The Air Bridge at this stand was unserviceable and
the passengers and crew had boarded the aircraft using mobile stairs which had than been removed
to a safe distance. As the aircraft was awaiting engine start and push back clearance personnel
from the airport authority arrived to carry out repairs to the air bridge. Shortly afterwards the air
bridge extended outwards and collided with the left side of the aircraft, producing a dent about 1
metre long aft of the forward left door. The crew and passengers disembarked using the mobile
stairs and the aircraft was withdrawn from service for repair.
