Qantas plane damaged in jet bridge collision at Brisbane airport in Australia
Sydney, June 19 (UNI) A plane of Australian airline Qantas has been damaged after colliding with a jet bridge at the Brisbane International Airport on Wednesday night.
Flight QF186 struck a passenger jet bridge after landing in Brisbane from Queenstown in New Zealand shortly before 6:40 p.m. local time on Wednesday, local media Brisbane Times reported on Thursday morning.
Images published by the newspaper on Thursday show that the windscreen of the Boeing 737-800 was shattered in the incident.
No injuries were reported and passengers disembarked the plane via the stairs.
A spokesperson for Qantas said that the airline was investigating how the bridge made contact with the front of the aircraft.
"The aircraft will be inspected by engineers in Brisbane and repaired before returning to service," he said.
It is the second jet bridge strike at the Brisbane airport in under a month after Air New Zealand Flight NZ146 made contact with a bridge as it was pushing back from a gate on May 22 and sustained a puncture in the fuselage, causing the scheduled flight to Auckland to be canceled.

This BMW Electric Two-Wheeler Is A Result Of Collab With Australian Fashion Brand
BMW Motorrad's electric two-wheeler range consists of the CE 02 and the relatively bigger CE 04. The CE 02 stands out from the crowd because of its unique characteristics and compact size. To further improve the wow factor of the EV, the brand has unveiled a new version developed in collaboration with Deus Ex Machina. This is an Australian clothing brand that is now participating in customizing two-wheelers. It is to be noted that the brand also has its presence in the music and live events through Deus Records. Called the BMW DE 02, the bike is being viewed as a "mobile DJ booth on two wheels". To put it together, Deus was tasked with the creation of a new leather saddle for the CE 02 and installed four compact Marshall speakers along with a foldable DJ turntable. Presently, BMW is touring the two-wheeler around France. Later, it will be on display at various BMW Motorrad dealerships, followed by its presence at the Deus Ex Machina boutiques across the country. Also Read: The BMW DE 02 will likely continue to be a one-off model and will not be available for sale.

The BMW CE 02 is available in India at a starting price of Rs 4.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes with a 3.9 kWh battery pack offering a range of up to 95 km (WMTC range). It is powered by an air-cooled synchronous motor, which can help the scooter go from 0 to 50 kmph in 3 seconds. Meanwhile, the top speed is limited to 95 kmph.
