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.
