Japan Airlines jet wing hits Delta Air plane on ground in Seattle
The right wing of a Japan Airlines jet struck the tail of a Delta Air Lines plane while the aircraft were taxiing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Wednesday, February 5, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The FAA paused some flights to the airport as a result of the incident that occurred around 10:40 a.m. local time (1840 GMT). The agency said it will investigate the incident.
The Delta 737-800 with 142 passengers was bound for Puerto Vallarta and was waiting for deicing when it was struck by the Japan Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner after it had landed from Tokyo. Delta said there were no reports of injuries and it will transfer passengers to another plane.
