BA A350 G- XWBA clips EK B777 at DXB
Didn’t see a thread on this here. Please delete/merge if one exists.
Seems like an A350 was damaged in a collision with a EK 777 at DXB, presumably while operating a cargo-only flight. Not sure if anyone knows what registration it is.

EDIT: seems to be XWBA

XWBA clips a EK B777 in DXB
Just seen an update that XWBA has clipped the horizontal stabilisers of an EK B777 at Dubai airport. How this even possible in this day and age ?
Question is ... who’s picking up the bill for this?

Were there any passengers on board either aircraft? I thought cargo only flights have been assigned a different flight number but it says in the tweet BA106 was cancelled. Either way that will be an expensive bill for the ground handling agent.
