A collision occurred between a Delta Airlines plane and a Japan Airlines aircraft at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on Wednesday morning. The incident took place on a taxi lane near the S Concourse at around 10:15 a.m. local time when a Japan Airlines plane struck the tail of a stationary Delta flight. Emergency services, including fire crews, police, and airport operations, swiftly responded to the situation.
Thankfully, all passengers aboard the two planes were safely deplaned with no reported injuries. Although the incident caused some disruption, it had minimal impact on overall airport operations, as it happened on a taxiway. Airlines worked to re-accommodate passengers.
The collision occurred a week after a deadly midair crash involving a passenger plane and a military helicopter near Washington, D.C., further raising concerns over air travel safety.
