A Sydney Airport worker drove his vehicle into the engine of a parked Jetstar aircraft. They're so small they are easy to miss, although in this instance, he didn't miss.

Sorry. Later news report says the aircraft was being towed.

Do you mean the UTE ?  It was parked wasn't it. Anyhow I think there's clearance lines marked out  and I wouldn't think you'd leave a vehicle inside them . The plane should be keeping an eye out also .. Expensive and shouldn't happen. Nev

Was it being towed? That is not very common. Mostly it's just push back to a position clear of the finger and disconnect the tug.   Nev

When I drive past Sydney Airport (Mascot) I see plenty of parked aircraft, well away from the terminal buildings.

The ones coming and going are the biggest % of apron movements. Was the plane under it's own power?  Nev
