A Hawaiian Airlines aircraft was damaged on Thursday when a jet bridge collapsed at the gate at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on May 2nd. The flight had just arrived from Kahului Airport (OGG) and thankfully it held up until all passengers had deplaned.

The Airbus A321neo’s front left-hand door sustained measurable damage after the jet bridge collapsed and struck the door. Due to the damage, the return flight scheduled for the next day (May 3rd) was cancelled. From checking FlightAware, it appears that the aircraft is still out of service.
Anthony’s Take: Luckily, all of the passengers were off of the jet bridge when it collapsed. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for repairs and clearance to return to Hawaii.
