The incident took place at Hong Kong International Airport on Sunday, November 10, where a Shandong Airlines Boeing 737 MAX was preparing for departure to Jinan in China’s Shandong Province.
A passenger aboard the delayed flight commented on the damage, saying, “The wing was broken. We had to wait for repairs, and it wasn’t ready until midnight.
Who would want to board this plane now?” The flight, initially scheduled to depart at 2:10 p.m., ultimately took off at around 9:50 p.m., according to the airport’s website.
On November 11, the Airport Authority confirmed the collision in an official statement, assuring that all passengers had disembarked safely, with no reported injuries.
The airline registered the plane as B-224R, which, following thorough inspection, was cleared to depart close to 10 p.m.
Notably, Shandong Airlines had only received the Boeing 737 MAX in March, according to VKNews24.
The shuttle bus involved in the collision displayed “zero emission” markings, aligning with Hong Kong International Airport’s 2020 commitment to replace diesel buses with electric models by 2024.
