An aircraft tug collided with HC Avtomobilist's business jet at Vnukovo Airport.

      A truck collided with the business jet of the Avtomobilist hockey club during ground towing at Vnukovo Airport. For this reason the team was unable to depart Moscow on time for the KHL match against Barys.

      — While towing the 52-seat Airbus A320ACJ to the de-icing point, a truck collided with it. As a result, the nose of the right engine’s air intake was damaged — a dent with a rupture formed, writes the Mash sports Telegram channel.

      On board the aircraft were seven crew members and 19 passengers belonging to the HC Avtomobilist delegation. No one was injured. A medical examination of the towing crew from the "Center for Business Aviation" showed that all were sober. Specialists are assessing the extent of the damage and the time required to repair the aircraft.

      Despite the delay, Avtomobilist players reached Yekaterinburg on an alternate flight and managed to take part in the pre-game warm-up before the match with Kazakhstan’s Barys.

      Earlier we reported that three young Avtomobilist players had been included in the Russian national team for the Channel One Cup.
