Accident Circumstances
On 17th April 2018, a Boeing B767, was towed from the cargo parking area, to the general aviation apron. During the maneuver, the operator reports that he noticed that another B767 was parked too close and that, if he continued the manoeuvre, he would hit the other aircraft; therefore, he decided to stop the towing in order to coordinate with the maintenance personnel a push back manoeuvre. He stopped the towing and got off the tractor to instruct a mechanic to put on the brakes, and his wingman to place the chocks. The wingman failed to position the chocks correctly and, as there is a small slope on the ramp, the aircraft moved forward two meters, sufficient for the left-wing winglet to collide with the left rudder.
Damage
As a result of the accident, one of the boeing B767, was left with damage on its left winglet: loss of honeycomb material and damage to the carbon fibre.

Accident Circumstances
During the last flight, the pilot reduced power too high before the runway threshold and allowed the aircraft to touch-down heavily on the right landing gear leg and bounce. The right undercarriage installation broke away from the tubular fuselage and the wing collapsed; hence, after the rebound, the aircraft veered off the runway
Damage
The front fuselage structure is distorted at the engine attachment points and where the wing and landing gear leg attach; and the upper and right skins aft of the cockpit are wrinkled. The right landing gear leg and tyre require replacement; and the left main and nose landing gear legs require conditional inspections with overhaul criteria. The right wing and propeller grounded.
