LONDON, England (CNN) -- A private jet carrying the Dixie Chicks clipped a building while taxiing along a runway Friday at Glasgow Airport, a spokesman for the British Airports Authority said.
No one was hurt, and the plane suffered only superficial damage, said airport spokesman Alistair Smith.
The Dornier 238 twin-engine aircraft, coming from Dublin, landed in Glasgow Friday afternoon and was taxiing the runway when its wing clipped a building occupied by the Glasgow University air squadron.
The 16 passengers, including the popular singing trio, walked off unharmed. Fire crews came as a safety precaution.
"The fella on the ground ... directed them in at a bad angle and the plane's wing clipped the corner of the terminal building at a very, very, very low rate of speed," the group's publicist Kathy Allmand wrote in an e-mail to CNN. "All is well. Chicks and crew are safe and OK."
The Dixie Chicks plan to perform as scheduled in Glasgow Friday night, their publicist said.
