A Southwest Airlines plane’s wing collided with an American Airlines plane as it was taxiing on the tarmac at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Tuesday, airline and Port Authority officials said.
The Southwest plane, en route to Denver, “came in contact with another aircraft that was awaiting a gate” at approximately 11 a.m. ET, Southwest said in a statement to Yahoo News. There were no injuries reported, and it is not clear how the collision occurred.
The 143 passengers and five crew members aboard the Southwest flight safely deplaned the aircraft and were bussed back to the terminal.
