- 9 years ago
Two planes collided with each other on Tuesday while taxiing at New York’s La Guardia airport.
The incident occurred just after 11am when a Southwest Airlines 737 jet clipped an American Airlines plane that was waiting for a gate, according to port authority officials.
Southwest Airlines Flight 449 was preparing to take 143 passengers to Denver while there were 149 passengers on board American Airlines Flight 1104 from Dallas, officials said.
Footage taken by passengers showed a piece of the Southwest plane’s wing tip on the taxiway.
Both aircraft were immediately taken out of service for repairs, leading to delays.
There were no reports of injuries on either plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation into the incident.
