The airline said the issue was caused by a mechanical problem during taxiing. The crew quickly followed safety procedures, and although the aircraft made partial contact with the jet bridge, the situation was brought under control.
All passengers on board were safe and left the plane calmly and in an orderly way. No injuries were reported.
Authorities have now launched an investigation to find out exactly what caused the mechanical failure. The airline has also apologized for the incident.
Overall, while the situation could have been serious, it was handled efficiently, preventing harm to passengers.
