Two planes collided on the tarmac at LaGuardia Friday as the airport grappled with intense delays brought on by weather and staffing shortages, The Post has learned.
A United Airlines plane returning from Orlando was turning into its arrival gate when it clipped the tail of another United jet on the taxiway, a spokesperson for the airline said.
Two planes collided at LGA on Friday evening.The clipped plane, which was waiting to be taxied for its journey to Houston, was stationary at the time.
“We all felt a bump during taxi to the runway but didn’t know it was another plane until the captain said it was,” a passenger, who declined to share their name, said.
A video obtained by The Post showed numerous emergency vehicles at the scene.
Both planes returned to the gate, and all passengers were deplaned.
There were no injuries reported among the two planes’ 328 passengers and 15 crew members.
Maintenance crews are evaluating the clipped plane for any malfunctions following the collision.
