Dornier 328-100, G-BZOG and Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy, HB-JEA

Summary:

The Embraer Legacy, with one passenger on board, was taxiing on the general aviation (GA) apron at Manchester International Airport. While moving forward slowly, with the assistance of a marshaller and two wing walkers, its right winglet struck the right wingtip of a parked Dornier 328. Separation of the aircraft revealed only superficial damage to the winglet and the Embraer was able to return to its base the following morning. The wingtip of the Dornier required replacement before further flight.
