GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, CMC – The Cayman Islands Airports Authority (CIAA) has launched an investigation following an incident last Friday, in which a Delta 737-900 aircraft from the United States managed to hit and knock over a stairs truck Owen Roberts International Airport and damage the wing as the plane pulled up to park.
Video circulating on social media taken by a passenger showed the immediate aftermath of the collision with the truck.
The CIAA, which announced the probe earlier this week, said no injuries were reported, and flight operations at the airport were impacted for around 20 minutes while the Cayman Islands Fire Service arrived.
Delta arranged a relief flight for passengers scheduled to depart on the flight.
According to a press release, the CIAA is trying to discover what happened and prevent it from happening again. “The safety and security of our passengers is our top priority,” the release stated. “We are conducting a thorough investigation to understand the circumstances that led to this occurrence and collaborating closely with airport partners to prevent such incidents in the future.”
