Narrative:ATR 42-320 aircraft VT-ABO was parked at Bay No. 32 at Kolkata Airport and scheduled to operate flight 9I-9737 to Silchar at 08:00 hours IST.
Meanwhile a passenger coach was assigned to carry two of the cabin crew members from the Terminal Building to Bay No.22 to operate Jet Airways flight 9W-2881, scheduled to depart at 06:10 hrs IST. The passenger coach deviated from the vehicular lane and crashed into the starboard side main landing gear area of the parked ATR aircraft VT-ABO in Bay No. 32. The cabin crew members and the driver on board the passenger coach disembarked immediately from the right side of the coach as the coach was stuck under the starboard wing/engine. The impact was strong and it damaged the starboard undercarriage, starboard engine exhaust and the wing inboard trailing edge. The passenger coach also sustained damages. There were no injuries to the persons in the coach and no evidence of fire was observed.
Probable Cause
Involuntary dozing of the Driver while driving on the apron has resulted into collision of coach with the aircraft.
