Delta plane strikes another jet on Atlanta airport tarmac

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.
