A minor collision between two Qantas passenger planes at Perth Airport overnight has sparked an investigation by the national airline.
The incident is believed to have occurred around 9pm on Sunday and involved two Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
A flight from Canberra was approaching the gate at low speed when its wing tip struck that of an aircraft stationary at an adjacent gate.

In a statement, Qantas said customers and crew disembarking from the stationary plane arriving from Brisbane “felt a jolt as the wingtips made contact.”
“After assessing the situation, the captain advised customers to continue disembarking as usual,” the spokesperson said.
“Engineers are inspecting both aircraft and an investigation is underway.”
No injuries were reported to either the customers or the crew of any of the planes.
