The NTSB is investigating after a Delta plane collided with an Endeavor Air flight on the tarmac at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday.Â
The FAA says Delta Air Lines Flight 295 was taxiing for departure to Tokyo when its wingtip struck the tail of Endeavor Air Flight 5526. The Endeavor plane was bound for Lafayette, Louisiana.
The planes were on alternate taxiways when the collision happened, Delta said.
There were 221 passengers aboard the Tokyo-bound flight, Delta said, and 56 people aboard the Louisiana flight. A spokesperson for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport said there were no injuries reported.
Delta Airlines said passengers will be accommodated on "alternate flights."
Endeavor Air is a Delta subsidiary.
