Two planes were slightly damaged in a ground incident at Dubai International Airport on Tuesday.

A British Airways plane made contact with a parked Emirates Boeing 777, causing minor damage to both jets.

The incident took place when the British Airways A350, which was beginning its journey to London Heathrow, was pushed back for take-off.

Pictures circulated on aviation websites appear to show the jets' tail fins touching.
