The wing of the Boeing jet owned by Donald Trump struck a parked plane at a Florida airport early Sunday morning.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s private Boeing 757 clipped another corporate jet while taxiing at West Palm Beach International Airport in Florida on Sunday.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that a privately owned 757 contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet at the south Florida airport.
A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12. While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet.
The FAA
The FAA statement did not identify the plane as belonging to Trump.
The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft, the agency said, adding that it is investigating.
It is not known if Trump, who had held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his Boeing 757 when its winglet struck the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.
