PHOTOS: Ground Collision at Barcelona Airport
On August 30, 2022, an Air Senegal Airbus A319, registered as 6V-AMB, collided with a catering truck during pushback. The aircraft was preparing to perform a flight from Barcelona to Dakar when its left wingtip hit the truck. There are no reported injuries resulting from the collision. (aeroxplorer.com) More...

Ouch! This could have been much worse and I hope it never happens again.
It will... It has happened before and it will happen again.. Just like Gear Up Landings... there is always a Next time... Just don't want to be the one!
Air Senegal, not a major player in Barcelona, almost certainly contracts out for ground and ramp services. No doubt the contractor’s gonna get the bills for aircraft repair and loss of use.
There’s always plenty of people out there after an incident like this. But there’s never enough people out there to walk the wings when you’re pushing back.
Not a good day on the ramp. My wing walkers called in sick.
Toreadors 0, Bull 1. Jolly good show! Goooaaal!
