Two Delta Air Lines planes collided on the tarmac at an airport in Atlanta on Tuesday morning. There were no reports of injuries. One of the planes, an Airbus A350, was taxiing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport when its wingtip struck the tail of another plane, a smaller Bombardier CRJ-900, around 10:07 a.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration and the airline. The Airbus was scheduled to fly to Tokyo as Delta Flight 295. The Bombardier plane was scheduled to fly to Lafayette, La., as Flight 5526 run by Endeavor Air, a Delta subsidiary. “The F.A.A. will investigate the incident, which occurred at the intersection of two taxiways,” the agency said in a statement.

Indonesia AirAsia says it is finalising the cooperation agreement with compatriot Garuda Indonesia, as it targets a significant fleet expansion in the near term. In a brief update, the low-cost operator says it is “in the final stages” of the partnership, which will see the interlining of several AirAsia flights with that of Garuda’s Citilink low-cost unit. The cooperation will see AirAsia tap into Citilink’s extensive domestic network, with the latter interlining on AirAsia’s Southeast Asia network. AirAsia parent Capital A signed a wide-ranging partnership with Garuda in September 2023, with an early-2024 target for the interlining agreement to commence. Indonesia AirAsia did not provide reasons for a change in timeline. Separately, the carrier confirms it is seeking out “various funding sources” and is looking to grow its fleet from 25 aircraft currently to 100 jets in 2031. The disclosure was made during a media roundtable led by Capital A chief Tony Fernandes. <br/>
