Ramp strike damages Wow's first A320neo
Icelandic budget airline Wow Air's first Airbus A320neo has suffered ramp-collision damage just five months after the jet was delivered. Transportation Safety Board of Canada has identified the aircraft as having struck a passenger boarding bridge at Montreal on 9 September. It had arrived from Reykjavik with 143 passengers and six crew members, and had been following the parking line, says the authority in a bulletin. The pilot was "following the marshaller's instructions", it adds, when the jet's left-hand CFM International Leap-1A engine hit the bridge. None of the occupants was injured, but the engine intake sustained damage. <br/>
