The PIA aircraft involved in the incident is Airbus A320 registration AP-BLW that had arrived at Islamabad Airport at 9:49 PM as flight PK262 from Abu Dhabi on February 14.
The A320 was parked on bay number eight when a baggage tug/tractor struck a baggage hold of the aircraft and a catering truck.
Engine number one (left side engine) of AP-BLW visible.
Damaged bumper of catering truck?
Apparently a baggage trolleys towing vehicle/tug hit PIA A320 and catering truck.
AP-BLW has returned to service since arriving in Islamabad.
