## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AFTER LANDING AT NIGHT, THE INCIDENT AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING TO THE ASSIGNED GATE BUT THERE WERE NO MARSHALLERS PRESENT TO ASSIST IN PARKING AT THE GATE. THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED SHORT OF THE GATE, TURNED OFF THEIR TAXI LIGHT AND WAITED FOR MARSHALLERS TO ARRIVE. AFTER STOPPING SHORT OF THE GATE, THE AIRCRAFT WAS STRUCK IN THE NOSE CONE AREA BY A BAGGAGE CART BEING TOWED BY A TUG. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT WAS STRUCK BY THE BAGGAGE CART, IT WAS TOWED TO THE GATE WHERE PASSENGERS DEPLANED NORMALLY USING THE JET BRIDGE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
