Minor on-ground accident between two planes in Singapore

Hundreds of passengers on-board two planes had a miraculous escape when the wing of one aircraft came in contact with another while both were taxiing for take-off at the busy Changi airport here.
A flight by low-budget Scoot airlines which was scheduled to leave for Tianjin in China was returned to bay after its left wing came into contact with the Emirates aircraft.
Both Changi Airport and Scoot confirmed that an on-ground accident happened between Emirates EK405, which was bound for Dubai, and Scoot TZ188.
All 303 passengers and 11 crew members on board the Scoot aircraft are safe but the flight was re-timed to about 6 am on a replacement aircraft while the affected plane underwent repair, a representative with the Scoot airlines said.

There were no injuries and passengers aboard EK405 were re-booked on other Emirates flights scheduled to depart later today, a spokesperson for Changi Airport Group (CAG) said.
However, number of passengers onboard Emirates aircraft was not specified.

CAG said it is working with authorities to investigate the incident.
A Scoot spokesman said the left wing of the Scoot plane came into contact with the Emirates aircraft.
The damaged plane is undergoing repairs.
"We are working with the relevant authorities to investigate the cause of the incident," the spokesman said.
