On 26 May 2013 at about 1342 hours, a Boeing 737-900 aircraft taxied to Bay C17 after landing at Changi Airport. At about 1405 hours, after all the passengers had disembarked, a wind of about 26 knots during a tropical rain caused the aircraft nose to swing to the right. This resulted in damages of varying degree to the aircraft, the passenger loading bridge that was docked to the aircraft, and a baggage loading equipment. The Air Accident Investigation Bureau of Singapore classified this occurrence as an incident. The investigation revealed contributing factors related to the way the baggage was loaded, the wheels were chocked, and the early insertion of the nose landing gear steering bypass pin.
