A Delta Air Lines flight clipped an Air Canada aircraft while taxiing for departure at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Tuesday.

The big picture: The collision occurred around 10:30 a.m. local time, with the Delta plane’s left wingtip striking the horizontal stabilizer of the Air Canada flight, which was being towed near its gate.

• Images showed significant damage, including a large gash in the Air Canada plane’s right tail section.
• Passengers reported a “big jolt” and sudden stop when the planes made contact.
• No injuries were reported following the incident, according to Air Canada.

State of play: Both planes were removed from service for inspection, and passengers were expected to be rebooked, causing potential flight delays.

• The FAA noted that ground collisions of this nature are rare but can lead to substantial aircraft damage and operational disruptions.

Zoom in: The incident took place on the airfield rather than an active runway and did not involve an in-flight emergency.

• The FAA is continuing its investigation into the circumstances of the collision and has not released further details.
