WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Bernama-AA) -- A pair of passenger planes collided on the tarmac Wednesday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, but no injuries were reported, according to Anadolu Agency (AA).
The Japan Airlines aircraft was taxiing on the tarmac when it struck the tail of a parked Delta Airlines plane around 10.17 am local time (1817GMT), damaging both aircraft, the airport said in a statement.
Port of Seattle Fire, police and the airport's operations team responded to the incident, which occurred on a taxi line.
The airport said it "is working with both airlines to safely deplane passengers and bring them to the terminal."
"There is minimal impact to airport operations as this occurred on a taxi lane. Passengers are encouraged to check with their airlines if they are flying today," it added on X.
Delta said in a statement that its Boeing 737 plane was "in sequence for deicing" ahead of a flight to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico when the collision occurred.
In all, 142 people were on board, and no injuries were reported among the crew or passengers.
