Two Delta planes collide on Atlanta airport taxiway, knocking the tail off one of the jets

• Two Delta jets collided on an airport taxiway Tuesday, the airline said.
• No inuries were reported.

Two Delta Air Lines jets collided on a taxiway at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Tuesday morning, knocking a chunk of the tail section from one of the planes.

Delta flight 295 was taxiing for departure to Tokyo at 10:10 a.m. when its wingtip struck the tail of Endeavor Air flight 5526, which was headed to Lafayette, Louisiana, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The FAA said it would investigate the incident.

Delta also confirmed the collision, saying an Airbus A350 and a CRJ-900 operated by one of its subsidiaries were involved. No injuries had been reported, the airline said.

Photos on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed emergency crews surrounding the regional jet with major damage visible.

No major delays or other flight cancellations had been reported at the airport, which is the world's busiest, as a result of the incident.

Flightradar24, a flight-tracking website, showed the larger Airbus plane was preparing to operate a flight to Tokyo.

It's unclear if the collision was the result of pilot deviation, an error by air traffic control, or another factor.

The FAA has been investigating a rash of near-miss incidents at US airports that have stumped experts.
