PHUKET:-- Investigations are still ongoing into how much damage was caused to an Aeroflot plane involved in an incident prior to take-off from Phuket International Airport on Monday night (Nov 14). The incident resulted in the Moscow-bound flight being cancelled.

 

Phuket International Airport told The Phuket News today (Nov 18) that an incident involving Aeroflot flight SU274/275 happened at 9:30pm on Monday night and that the plane had been damaged by airplane passenger stairs attached to the plane.

 

“At 9:30 pm on Monday an airport engineer was called to look into an incident and check damage caused to an Aeroflot plane’s door, which was said to have been damaged by airplane passenger stairs.

 

“As a quick-fix solution the engineer forced closed the door so that it would stay shut.

 

“Following this, the Aeroflot Maintenance Control Center (MCC) was called in to move the Boeing 777 to the aircraft stand so that the damage could be assessed.

“As a quick-fix solution the engineer forced closed the door so that it would stay shut. " Love it- no black duct tape available I take it!

Looks to me like door was almost ripped off.  But that looks like a rear  door which would not usually be attached to the jetway. i think a lot more to that story.

 

And force door shut - what .... impossible.
