A catering truck crashed into a plane while it was parked at an airport in Mexico.

The Airbus A320 operated by ultra-low-cost carrier Viva Aerobus had just arrived from Mexico City International Airport at Guadalajara International Airport when the accident happened on Friday, March 31.

Passengers was still disembarking from flight VB1058 as ground staff began preparing the jet for the next journey when the vehicle unexpectedly hurtled towards the plane's tail.

CCTV captured the collision, which caused damage to the rear of the aircraft's fuselage.

Airport officials said that as a result of the impact, an inspection and repair of the aircraft was carried out at the Guadalajara Airport while it was temporarily taken out of service.

Viva Aerobus, which is now investigating the crash, said in a statement: 'Another aircraft, registration XA-VAY, was assigned to cover this route so that passengers could complete their trip as soon as possible. We regret the inconvenience that this circumstance may have caused in some of the scheduled flights.'

The airline earlier this week announced the launch of seven new routes including two international services from Cancun and Monterrey to Quito and Bogota.
