On 16 December, Aeroflot flight SU158 between Moscow Sheremetyevo, Russia and Cancun Mexico didn’t go as planned as – during a de-icing procedure – the Airbus A350-900 (registered VP-BXC) departed too early from the de-icing stand. 

As a result, the de-icing truck – still busy with his works – tipped over injuring the operator.

Aeroflot was forced to switch to sister aircraft VP-BXD to operate the flight.

Footage that appeared on social media indicate that the aircraft took along the towing bar during taxi. The tow bar got stuck underneath the right hand engine, resulting in sparks due to the friction of the tow bar.
