An investigation is underway after a Boeing passenger plane took a slice out of the tail of another jet on the runway of a major airport.
Four pilots have been suspended following the incident last Friday at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi.
The Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner collided with an Airbus A321 around 2pm as it was taxing down the runway. The Airbus was waiting on the tarmac to depart for Dien Bien.
Video posted on social media from inside the Boeing clearly shows the incident and the damage caused when the planes make contact.
Both planes were immediately grounded for inspection and passengers were brought back to their gates. None of the 386 passengers onboard the two planes were injured and they were given alternate flights to get to their destination.
An independent team will conduct the investigation, alongside the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).
