The woes of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) passengers seem to be far from over. This time the wing of a PIA flight collided with the wing of an Air France aircraft at Pearson International Airport on Tuesday night, according to CBC news.
This incident comes just a month after the fatal crash of PIA flight PK-661 that killed 47 people.
Natalie Moncur, a spokeswoman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority told CBC, "The Air France plane was parked at a gate at Terminal 3 as the Pakistan International Airlines aircraft taxied towards a gate nearby. The tips of the airplanes' wings touched."
No injuries were reported and the airport operations were not affected.
According to reports on social media, passengers of PIA had to wait for several hours for their baggage after arriving at Pearson airport.

Last month, PIA flight PK-661, carrying 47 people, smashed into a hillside in the country's north while travelling from the city of Chitral to Islamabad. The airline said one of the planes' two turboprop engines had failed.
There were no survivors.
