In a startling incident at LaGuardia Airport in New York, two Delta Air Lines regional jets collided on the taxiway, resulting in one person sustaining injuries. The collision occurred between Endeavour Air Flight 5047 and Endeavour Air Flight 5155, both CRJ-900 aircraft, as Flight 5047 was taxiing to its gate after landing from Charlotte.
The impact of the collision caused significant damage, including a detached wing section and shattered windshields. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated an investigation into the incident to determine the exact circumstances that led to the low-speed collision.
According to reports, one flight attendant was injured in the collision, highlighting the potential dangers even during routine ground operations at airports. The injured individual received prompt medical attention, and their current condition remains undisclosed.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of stringent safety protocols and vigilance in aviation operations, even during seemingly routine procedures like taxiing. The FAA’s investigation will likely focus on factors such as communication protocols, air traffic control instructions, and adherence to standard operating procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
While the exact cause of the collision is yet to be determined, the aftermath underscores the need for continued emphasis on safety measures within the aviation industry to safeguard passengers, crew members, and airport personnel.
