Narrative:
Damage reported to small commuter aircraft Y from blast of 1 engine at idle power as we pulled into gate. With close proximity of small 2 engine commuter aircraft and my large transport, they reported 2 people fell down as a result of blast. If this is so as stated, then obviously the area between large aircraft and the small commuters is insufficient and the situation must be remedied.
