A Japan Airlines jet sliced the tail of a Delta Air Lines plane at Seattle Airport Wednesday morning.
At 10:17 a.m. PT, a taxing Japan Airlines plane struck the tail of a parked Delta Air Lines plane at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
The airport said the incident occurred on a taxi line between S Concourse and the south airport maintenance hangars.
No injuries were reported and there was minimal impact to airport operations. Images shared on social media show the Japan Airlines wing cut through the Delta tail.
‘So, we were sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac and another plane ran into us, just casually sliced into our tail. Very scary,’ one witness said on X.
‘While in sequence for deicing, the tail of a Delta 737 aircraft reportedly made contact with a wing tip of another airline’s aircraft,’ a Delta spokes person told DailyMail.com
‘There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels.’
There were 142 customers on the Delta flight from Seattle to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The company said they are working to get passengers on a new aircraft.
