A Delta jet clipped a smaller plane on a taxiway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday morning, tearing the tail off the smaller plane, officials said.

Delta Air Lines Flight 295, which was en route to Tokyo, was taxiing for takeoff when its wingtip hit the tail of Endeavor Air Flight 5526, which was headed to Louisiana, knocking the Endeavor plane’s tail off, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and Delta.

    Endeavor is owned by Delta.

    Will be interesting to see who’s fault this is… Sounds like ground ATC.

      I don’t remember fully about that airport(after all, it is a full 20 mins from my house) but as i recall this is a major Delta hub, and because of that the entire section where they board and then move to taxi is all Delta only.
