Narrative:

Sitting at the gate, 10 mins until pushbac. The A319 at gate Y pushed bac and we felt a right to left rocing of the aircraft moments later. My first officer looed out his side window and said: 'they hit us.' I went outside to ch the damage, while my first officer notified maintenance. The right wing sail was damaged on our aircraft, as was the left sail on the A319 (still hooed up to the tug on pushbac). Our aircraft was taen OTS, we departed once a replacement arrived.
