Two planes collide at Newark Airport
Two airplanes preparing for take-off from Newark Liberty International Airport clipped each other while taxiing to the runway.
It was the third fender-bender between aircraft in as many months at US airports.
In the latest incident, the left wing of a Scandinavian Airlines Airbus A330 clipped the tail of an Embraer E145 regional jet operated as a United Airlines partner while the aircraft were on a taxiway.
Scandinavian Airlines Flight 908, bound for Oslo, was directly behind ExpressJet Flight 4226, destined for Nashville, and was turning right onto another taxiway when its wing clipped the ExpressJet plane’s tail.
The ExpressJet plane was towed back to the gate, and the Scandinavian Airlines plane taxied back to the gate, where passengers disembarked.
In March, two Southwest planes collided while pushing back from adjacent gates at Detroit Metropolitan airport. A week earlier, an Air India Boeing 777 hit a JetBlue Airways Airbus A320 as they prepared for take-off from JFK Airport in New York.
