ATLANTA — Two planes struck each other at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday, damaging one of the aircraft, according to the FAA.

Officials said Delta Air Lines Flight 295 was taxiing for departure around 10:10 a.m., its wingtip struck the tail of Endeavor Air Flight 5526.

According to the FAA, the Delta Airbus was headed to Tokyo and the Endeavor Bombardier was headed to Lafayette, Louisiana.

"There have been no reported injuries at this time and customers are being transported back to the terminal where they will be reaccommodated on alternate flights," Delta added in a statement. "There were 221 customers on DL295 and 56 customers on DL5526. At this time, no additional operational adjustments are expected."

A photo from the scene appears to show the tail of that second plane knocked off.


Surely one of our OTers was on the Laffy flight

That is actually good to hear. Knowing Delta, I wouldn't have been shocked if they had tried to duct-tape the tail back to the rest of the airplane and roll on like normal.

Yeh, they shouldn’t try to fly it like that…but you know these days it’s only a minor thing and don’t worry the doors will stay on.

Insert 9/11 conspiracy talk with seeing how easy that tail fell off.

Endeavor Air is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta.

This is domestic violence at it's finest. Brother on Brother fight. Nothing to see here.

Sucks to be the people on board the flight to Tokyo. They were just getting ready to take off on a long arse flight and now they've got a long arse delay as well.

So you are saying there is an opening for a pilot on the ATL-TYO run?
