Two airplanes were grounded by Soekarno Hatta International Airport authorities after they bumped into each other in a parking area for planes on Sunday morning.

The planes belonged to Wings Air, a Lion Air subsidiary, and KAL Star.

“They have been grounded for further investigation,” a corporate secretary for airport operator Angkasa Pura II said in a statement.

He said there were no casualties. “The two planes were not carrying passengers when the incident took place.”

However, the navigation instruments on the planes were severely damaged.
