Two planes operated by Delta Air Lines subsidiary Endeavor Air collided on the tarmac of New York City’s LaGuardia Airport, which left a flight attendant injured.
The collision occurred Wednesday night between the two planes — Endeavor Air Flight 5047, arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina; and Endeavor Flight 5155, scheduled to depart for Roanoke, Virginia — on a taxiway at LaGuardia.
The Federal Aviation Administration later said Flight 5047 was taxiing to its gate when it struck Flight 5155.
The FAA said air traffic control instructed Flight 5155 to hold and yield to the other plane.
In a statement, Delta Air Lines shared that preliminary information indicates that the wing of Flight 5155 made contact with the fuselage of Flight 5047 during the “low-speed collision,” and confirmed that a flight attendant suffered a minor injury in the collision.
