A door was ripped off a plane causing damage at Dublin Airport following an airbridge collapse at Terminal 2, the daa has revealed.
The incident, which occurred this Sunday at the capital airport, led to damage to the American Airlines (AA) Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
It is understood that N812AA was preparing to depart to Philadelphia when the incident occurred. Current reports say that nobody was injured as a result of the airbridge collapse.
The Irish Independent reported that the Air Accident Investigation Unit, which operates as part of the Department of Transport, did not need to carry out a review, as no passengers or airline staff were injured.
Despite the disturbance, the airbridge collapse did not lead to any delays for incoming or outgoing flights this afternoon, only the flight connected to the aircraft that had arrived from Chicago and was subsequently damaged.
