The incident happened when a towing car, which was pushing the Korean Air plane backwards ahead of departure, slipped due to snow on the ground, leading the airplane’s left wing to clip the Cathay Pacific plane’s right tail wing, the Korean Air official said.
Korean Air Lines’ initial assessment attributed the cause to a groundhandler that was towing the airplane in heavy snow, the airline official said.
An airport spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. — Reuters
