Two Delta Planes Collide While Taxiing at Atlanta Airport

Two Delta Airlines planes collided while taxiing in preparation for takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

According to Delta Airlines spokesperson Anthony Black, the wingtip of a Delta Airbus A350 struck a Delta CRJ 900 regional jet operated by Endeavor Airlines.

No passengers were injured in the regional flight, and they were transported back to the terminal by bus. The other plane had already deplaned its passengers before the incident occurred.

The delayed passengers will be accommodated on other flights.

As a result of the collision, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) closed the runway and several nearby taxiways. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the incident.
