According to a
statement from TAAG, the plane operated by Hifly was scheduled to leave at
23:20, but left late due to the need to replace equipment after a collision
between the Sonangol truck and the Airbus A330, during refuelling.
The carrier states
that the passengers continued their journey on a Boeing 777, whose flight was
scheduled for November 3, “with no additional impact on the global flight
schedule”.
TAAG underlines that
it is not involved in what happened and was affected by this situation, having
requested the opening of an investigation to investigate the incident that only
caused material damage to the plane.
