On 5 February, two jets collided while on the tarmac at Seattle-Tacoma International airport.

A Delta spokesperson revealed that Delta Flight 1921 from Vancouver had landed for a layover and ended up colliding with a Japan airlines plane that was taxiing on the runway.

The rep revealed that the 737 had 142 customers on board and was de-icing when the airplanes wing tip collided with the other plane.

There have been no injuries revealed at this time but flyers were asked to move onto a new plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration shared a statement, claiming the right wing of Japan Airlines Flight 68 hit the tail of the Delta plane at around 10:40 AM PT and the “aircraft were in an area that is not under air traffic control.”

The cause of the collision is being investigated.
