The General Directorate of Civil Aviation announced in a statement on Monday that it had received a detailed report from the World Aviation Forum regarding the damage to one of Aegean Airlines’ planes that flew to Lebanon last week.

Here's what we know:

    • The report stated that the nature of the damage suggests it was caused by the aircraft hitting heavy equipment designated for ground services or the bridge designated for the transit of passengers to and from the aircraft, which the General Directorate of Civil Aviation said could not have happened where the aircraft was parked.

    • The WAF’s report recommended in its seventh paragraph that the General Directorate of Civil Aviation write to the Greek Civil Aviation Authority to review the place where the plane was parked at Athens’ Airport before it came to Beirut, suggesting that the damage may not have come while the plane was in Lebanon.

    • The Greek airline Aegean stated on January 15th that it had temporarily discontinued its service to Beirut, in effect since Jan. 11. The airline alleges that "external damage" to an aircraft was discovered by ground crew on Jan. 10 at Rafic Hariri International Airport.
