MEXICO CITY - The engine of an Aeromexico aircraft was impacted by the boarding aisle at Mexico City International Airport (AICM), the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) reported.

In a statement, the AFAC said that Aeromexico's B787-8 aircraft with registration number N782AM was involved in this mishap when the telescopic aisle at position 68 of the AICM hit the left engine.
