The airline reported the flight attendant received injuries that were not life threatening. The aircraft received "quite some" damage upon impact by the catering ground vehicle. A replacement aircraft has been dispatched to perform the flight.
A replacement Airbus A320-200 registration VP-BTZ departed Dubai with a delay of 14.5 hours.
On Feb 25th 2014 the French BEA reported in their weekly bulletin that a catering truck collided with the aircraft just underneath the aft right hand passenger door causing damage to the aft fuselage, as result of the impact the aircraft rotated causing the nose of the aircraft to move about 5 meters to the right. This created a gap between the jetway connected to the left hand forward passenger door, a flight attendant just boarding the aircraft for the next sector fell from the left hand forward door and received serious injuries. The door and jetway also collided as result of the impact by the truck resulting in damage to the left hand door.
