A video of the Dec. 27 incident tweeted by Tom Podolec, a multimedia journalist for CTV and an aviation photographer, shows the larger plane, a Boeing 777, being towed when it comes into contact with the tail of the parked smaller plane, an Airbus A321, pushing it to a 90-degree angle sideways.

“Both aircraft were empty at the time and there were no injuries,” Air Canada media relations said in a statement Tuesday.

“We are investigating the incident. The Boeing 777 has since returned to service and the A321 is being repaired.”
