MIAMI — A Delta Air Lines plane bound for Boston clipped a second Delta plane bound for Atlanta on Sunday at Miami International airport, WSB-TV reported.
The incident happened as Boston-bound Flight 2911 was pushing back from the gate, officials with Miami International Airport told the news station. It made “minor, low-speed contact” with Atlanta-bound Flight 1654, a statement from the airline said.
No injuries were reported, according to WSB. A Delta spokesperson said that passengers and crew members on both planes were able to disembark “safely and normally.”
The low-speed collision caused both flights to be delayed by about five hours, WSB reported.
“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay in their travel plans,” Delta officials said in a statement obtained by WSB. “Maintenance teams are evaluating the condition of the aircraft and customers have been re-accommodated on new aircraft onto their destinations.”
