The Airbus A321 had arrived from Ercan Airport (ECN/LCEN), Turkey as flight TK969 and turned towards Gate 217 at Terminal A at 14:47 UTC. The aircraft stopped about 30 meters before the intended parking position at the gate. At the same time the Asiana Airbus A330 had commenced taxiing along taxiway Golf to the runway passing behind the Turkish airline. Asiana flight OZ552 was returning to Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN/RKSI) South Korea. While taxiing past the Turkish A321, the right hand wing tip impacted the vertical stabiliser of the A321.
The A321's vertical stabilizer was knocked over entirely and the A330's wing tip sustained serious damage.
