A China Eastern Airlines Airbus A350-941 has collided with a jet bridge at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, prompting an investigation by Chinese authorities.
The incident took place at around midday on Saturday, shortly after flight MU5406 landed at Hongqiao having flown in from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.
Photographs taken from inside the aircraft show the passenger boarding bridge buckled and tilted at a sharp angle alongside the fuselage, with visible damage to its outer panels.
Authorities have opened an investigation into the cause of the collision. No further details on injuries or damage to the aircraft have been released at this stage.
