Passengers have been left shaken after a Qantas plane crashed into a catering truck while preparing to leave Sydney airport.

Melbourne-bound flight QF467 was reversing from its gate about 7.30pm yesterday when it collided at low speed with the truck, Qantas has confirmed.

The Qantas Boeing 737’s right-wing tip received minor damage.
Link includes Vidoe showing wing damage to the starboard outer flap area.
