Looks like a bad one at JFK. Who was to blame? Watch this space.

I hope you don't get your winglet sliced off Newcastle.

Press reports are blaming the Virgin pilot not parking properly at a 45 degree angle in the parking area thereby ensuring wings don't touch. However the Egyptair pilots should have seen the aircraft ahead.
