A Delta airlines Airbus A350-941 aircraft has clipped vertical stabilizer off a Delta Bombardier CRJ-900LR plane.
Two Delta Airlines aircraft were involved in a collision on the taxiway at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.
An Airbus A350-900 registration (N503DN) operating flight DL295 to Tokyo, clipped the tail of a regional jet Bombardier CRJ-900LR (registration (N302PQ)) operating flight DL5526 to Louisiana, causing damage to both planes.
It appears the vertical stabilizer of the CRJ aircraft fell off after the right hand wing tip of the A350 clipped the regional aircraft.
At 10:07AM, two aircraft made contact at the intersection of taxiways E and H on the north airfield. No injuries are reported. Passengers from one aircraft are being bussed to concourse B; the other aircraft taxied on its own power to its gate. There is minimal impact to ops.”
