An aerobridge at Melbourne Airport was damaged this morning when a United Airways plane strayed too close to its parking bay.
The plane had landed at the airport at about 10:30am (AEST) on a flight from Los Angeles.
The plane strayed too close to the aerobridge and made contact.
An airport spokeswoman says no-one on either the plane or the aerobridge was injured, but she declined to say how much damage was done.
She said the plane will not be returning to the USA tonight as scheduled, and the aerobridge is “inoperable.”
The airport says it is working with United Airlines and the relevant authorities, including the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to investigate the incident.
