Two planes operated by a Delta subsidiary collided on Wednesday on the runway at New York’s LaGuardia airport, the local port authority and the airline said.

‎The incident involving two Endeavor Air jets occurred at 9:58 pm (0158 GMT on Thursday) as one was landing and the other about to take off, according to a statement from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

‎One person was taken to the hospital after suffering “non-life-threatening injuries,” it added. Delta reported one minor injury to a flight attendant.

‎Images shared by US media, which AFP was unable to immediately verify, showed damage to the nose of one of the jets.

‎The port authority said operations at LaGuardia, one of the United States’ busiest airports, were not interrupted.

‎Delta, the parent company of Endeavor Air, said it would “work with all relevant authorities to review” safety measures following what it described as “a low-speed collision during taxi.”

‎Citing preliminary information, Delta said the wing of the plane taxiing ahead of its departure for Roanoke, Virginia, made “contact… with the fuselage of the arriving aircraft.”

‎The two jets had a total of 93 passengers and crew members on board, Delta added.
