Plane wing of Delta aircraft nicks another empty aircraft during maneuver away from the gate in Atlanta airport.
On Sunday morning, a Delta Air Lines plane was involved in an incident at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. According to a statement from the airline, the Delta plane's wing made contact with an empty aircraft during pushback from the gate.
The Delta flight, scheduled for a journey to Guatemala City, was carrying 192 passengers, two pilots, and four flight attendants. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
Passengers were transferred to another plane following a delay, though further details about the extent of the damage or the nature of the delay were not provided in the statement.
It's important to note that this incident is distinct from another collision on the Atlanta tarmac, which occurred later in the day and involved a Delta Airbus A350 and an Endeavor Air Bombardier CRJ900.
Delta Air Lines, headquartered in Atlanta, is the company operating the plane that was involved in the incident. The clipped aircraft was empty at the time of contact.
At this time, additional information on the incident is not yet available. However, it's clear that the safety of passengers and crew remains Delta Air Lines' top priority.
