Story summary

On Tuesday morning at Los Angeles International Airport, a Delta Airbus A350-900 plane collided with an Air Canada jet while taxiing on the tarmac. The incident occurred around 10:30 am, and it appears that the winglet of the Delta aircraft hit the horizontal stabilizer of the Air Canada plane, causing damage to both planes but no injuries were initially reported.

The collision happened when the Delta flight was preparing to depart for Tokyo with 275 passengers and 15 crew members on board. Jayson Lowe, CEO of Ascendant Financial Inc., witnessed the event from another flight that had just landed at LAX, emphasizing the severity by stating it seemed someone in the Delta cockpit lost spatial awareness near a large parked aircraft.

The FAA is investigating the incident, and Delta has agreed to cooperate with any investigation by the NTSB. The airline stated, "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people."
