A Singapore Airlines (SIA) plane hit an aerobridge at Sydney Airport yesterday while taxiing after landing, and damaged one of its four engines.

Local Singapore newspaper The Straits Times reported one of the aircraft’s four engines “made contact” with the aerobridge.

“There were no injuries to the 285 passengers and 26 crew on board Flight SQ 231,” The Straits Times quoted a spokesperson for the carrier as saying in a statement to the newspaper.

Witnesses posted pictures showing part of an engine rammed into a leg of an aerobridge, the paper added.
