Official: Planes damaged after wings touch at Kennedy Airport
The wings on two planes struck each other Monday night as they rolled along the taxiway at Kennedy Airport, a Port Authority official said.
No one was injured, said Lenis Rodrigues, a spokeswoman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
She said EgyptAir Flight 986 was taking off at 7:03 p.m. when it clipped wings with a Virgin Atlantic jet. Both aircraft were damaged, with at least one being towed to the gate, Rodrigues said.
The incident did not affect airport operations, she said.
