SIA flight to Frankfurt delayed after catering truck hits plane’s engine

“No customers were on board the aircraft when the incident occurred, and there were no injuries,” said the spokesperson, adding that affected passengers were provided with refreshments while waiting for a replacement plane.

The flight later left Singapore at 2.13pm carrying 452 passengers and 28 crew. It arrived in Frankfurt at 8.40pm local time the same day.

As a result of the delay, flight SQ325 from Frankfurt to Singapore on Wednesday was cancelled due to the Frankfurt Airport curfew.

The spokesperson said that the aircraft’s engine cowling has been repaired and that the aircraft is back in service.

“SIA provided all customers with the necessary assistance, including hotel accommodation and rebooking affected customers’ connecting flights,” said the spokesperson.

“The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority,” the spokesperson added.
