Two Delta regional jets collided on the tarmac at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, leaving one person injured and prompting an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. The incident occurred when the wing of one aircraft struck the cockpit window of another in a low-speed crash at the intersection of taxiways M and A.
Both planes, CRJ-900 regional jets operated by Endeavor Air, were carrying passengers at the time. One flight had just landed from Charlotte, while the other was preparing to depart for Roanoke, Virginia. Passengers described the collision as “inevitable” after one pilot slammed on the brakes but couldn’t stop in time.
The NTSB has recovered flight recorders and will release a preliminary report within 30 days. Delta has apologised to passengers, offering accommodation and meals. Airport operations were not disrupted as investigators work to determine how the mishap occurred.
