Delta Air planes collide on taxiways

On the morning of Tuesday, September 10, 2024, two Delta Air Lines planes collided while taxiing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Delta flight DL295, an Airbus A350-941 (N503DN) bound for Tokyo, clipped the tail of Delta Connection flight DL5526, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR (N302PQ) heading to LaFayette, Louisiana.

The A350's right-hand wingtip knocked over the vertical and horizontal stabilizers of the CRJ-900.

No injuries were reported among the 221 passengers on the A350 or the 56 on the CRJ-900. Passengers were safely transported back to the terminal for rebooking, and both aircraft sustained damage.

Delta is working with the NTSB and other authorities to investigate the incident.
