Southwest Jet Damaged at Bradley; Flight Rescheduled

A Southwest Airlines flight from Bradley International Airport to Nashville was canceled Thursday morning when the plane was damaged near the departure gate around 8:30 a.m.

Jack Chmura, airport operations specialist, said a catering truck maneuvering under a wing of the plane caused "minor, minor damage." Another plane has to be used for the flight, Chmura said.

The plane had been parked at the airport overnight. No passengers were onboard when the damage occurred, Chmura said.

Rollin Tebbetts, airport operations manager, said officials were still trying to determine which new flight the passengers were rerouted to. The Southwest Airlines website said the flight at 8:20 a.m. has been canceled and was rescheduled for an 11:30 a.m. departure.
