One of the passengers on board posted on X, describing the incident as “terrifying.”
Delta has confirmed that passengers from both planes will be rebooked on other flights. The wing of the larger Airbus was also damaged, but no fires or major hazards followed the incident.
The incident comes just a month after a tragic accident at the same airport claimed two lives. The workers were killed and another seriously injured in an explosion at Atlanta’s Delta Technical Operations Maintenance facility.
According to the airline, the explosion happened as wheel components were being disassembled for maintenance at their wheel and brake shop.
Airport officials described the recent collision as “minimal.” Delta is expected to cooperate with the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate.
