A Japan Airlines Boeing 787-9 struck the tail of a Delta Air Lines 737-800 while taxiing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Wednesday, prompting an FAA investigation and a temporary halt of some flights. No injuries were reported.
The incident occurred at 10:40 a.m. local time (1840 GMT) when the Japan Airlines jet, arriving from Tokyo, clipped the Delta aircraft, which was waiting for deicing before departing for Puerto Vallarta.
The FAA temporarily paused some flights at the airport following the collision and confirmed it has launched an investigation into the incident. Photos from the airport show visible damage to the right wing of the Japan Airlines plane.
The Delta jet had 142 passengers onboard, but no injuries were reported. Delta said it would transfer passengers to another aircraft and cooperate with the FAA in its probe.
Japan Airlines has not yet responded to requests for comment. The extent of damage to both planes remains under review.
