The incident occurred when the plane was being laden for a morning flight to Frankfurt, Germany. It had flown in from Moscow two days back.

Concerns have been raised about a possible safety issue, which could lead to other 787s being beached for inspections.

“A freighter aircraft has been damaged while stationary on the stand. As a freighter-only aircraft there were no passengers on board,” a spokesperson for the airline said.

“Safety is always our highest priority and we are investigating the matter.”
