Happened at Changai Airport. The aircraft rolled back when chocks were removed had no tug attached but the aerobridge was.
Aircraft was going to maintenance.
Super glue?

A bit of yellow "speed Tape" and you would never know.

Exactly Brian, but Yellow.

The Mythbusters recreated the incident several years ago by trashing a plane and repairing it with duct tape.

Not bad Rowan, 9 days into the year with the first pun.

Is the repair more complicated with a carbon-fibre structure rather than Aluminium ?

LCC solution - Duct Tape and add an extra row of seats.
