This is the extent of the damage after a Boeing plane was pushed back into a fellow Ryanair jet at Stansted Airport yesterday (June 28).

Customers faced delays of up to three hours after a Warsaw-bound Boeing 737-800 and an aircraft from Frankfurt Hahn that had just landed collided in the parking area of Stansted at about 6.45am.

Passengers and staff were evacuated, all uninjured, while the two pilots were breath tested by Essex Police.

London-based PR worker Ren Ivaldi, a passenger on the Warsaw-bound flight, said on Twitter: "Huge loud crashing noise and totally felt the crush sitting at the back. 

"Thank God it only hit the wing as if it was the body of the plane it'd been apocalypse… The other plane's wing is half crushed. No electricity on plane. No toilets, no ventilation."

The airport is operating as normal while an Air Accidents Investigation Branch investigation takes place.
