A Boeing 737-MAX8 of Air Canada was being towed by a ground tug, when the driver positioned himself into stand H15. However, stands H15A and H15B were already occupied by an Air Canada Rouge Airbus A321 and an Air Canada Airbus A321 respectively. The Boeing 737-MAX8's right winglet cut into the Air Canada A321's left stabiliser, damaging both aircraft before the tug and aircraft came to a halt.
The identity of the Air Canada Boeing 737-MAX8 and the Air Canada Rouge Airbus A321 involved in the incident are currently unknown.
