HiFly A380 grounded following collision at Paris-CDG
HiFly’s flagship A380 is making headlines again after it was damaged as it collided with a jet bridge as it was being towed forward at Paris Charles de Gaulle Sunday last night whilst operating services for Air Austral. The flight was supposed to take off from Friday at 5:00 pm arriving at Reunion, Roland Garros International at 6:00 am in the morning local time. However, one of the aircraft’s Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines was damaged as it collided with the jet bridge as the aircraft was being towed towards it. No passengers were on board at the time of the incident. The Reunion carrier had wet-leased the A380 from HiFly in order to make up for one of the carrier’s Boeing 787-8s which is currently out of service for 3 months due to Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engine inspections. <br/>
