The aircraft had completed an uneventful transit from Larnaca Airport in Cyprus to Manchester Airport. Having landed, the pilots were instructed to park the aircraft on Stand 209L which is located at Terminal 2. Following the normal crew confirmation of the stand number, the aircraft approached the gate. The Stand Entry Guidance system (SEG) of Stand 209L was activated signifying clearance to enter the stand. Instructions from the Operational Support officer (OSO) operating the SEG system reflected the progress of the aircraft onto the stand. Just before coming to a halt and at about three knots groundspeed, the left winglet contacted the right wing tip of a Boeing 767 parked on Stand 210C on the left side of the aircraft. The aircraft was shut down and the passengers disembarked by the normal exit without further incident.
