A SINGAPORE Airlines plane scheduled to depart for Hong Kong has collapsed at Singapore’s Changi Airport.
There were no crew or passengers in the Airbus A330-300 when it collapsed on Sunday morning, broadcaster Channel NewsAsia reported.
An engineer had been in the aircraft, but Singapore Airlines said he was not hurt.
‘We do not have details of damage to the aircraft at this point. An assessment will be carried out after it is removed from the gate,’ Singapore Airlines said.
The carrier said the plane had been undergoing a routine landing gear system check when its nose gear retracted and caused the aircraft to pitch forward.
The plane - which arrived at Changi Airport in the early hours of the morning from Shanghai - had been scheduled to depart for Hong Kong at 7.35am.
Another aircraft was used for the Hong Kong flight and left about 40 minutes after its scheduled departure time.
The collapsed plane has been in service for more than six years.
Its maiden flight was in April 2009.
