SINGAPORE - Passengers on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday (Sept 18) had to disembark just before take off, when the plane hit an aerobridge.
Flight SQ178, scheduled to depart at 9.45am, had just left the gate at Changi Airport and was being pushed back by a tow tug when the incident occurred.
Confirming the incident, an SIA spokesman told The Straits Times that the front body (near the nose) of the Airbus 330-300 hit one of the two aerobridges that had earlier been used for boarding.
All 272 passengers and 12 crew who were on board the aircraft eventually disembarked normally via the aerobridge that was not hit, she said.
A replacement aircraft was arranged and the flight left Singapore about two hours later at about noon.
