A pair of Ryanair's Boeing jets collided on the tarmac at Dublin Airport on Tuesday.

According to Sky News, the collision resulted in the wingtip of one aircraft lodged in the tail of the other.

A Ryanair spokeswoman told Sky News that there were no injuries and the stranded passengers were re-booked on other flights. The two Boeing were on their way to Brussels and Edinburgh respectively before their fender bender in the early morning darkness, reports the Dailymail.

This Ryanair mishap comes on the heels of a similar incident that took plane in June at London's Stansted Airport. That collision -also between a pair of Ryanair Boeings- again involved the wing on one jet slicing into the tail of the other aircraft.

Emily Carroll, a passenger on one of the jets managed to post photos of the damaged aircraft taken from the her window seat.

The exact cause of the incident has yet to be determined. Sky News is also reporting that the Irish Aviation Authority is investigating the incident.
