No one was injured but passengers on both flights were forced to deplane, SeaTac Airport said.

Delta Flight 1921 was set to fly to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with 142 customers on board.

Delta said in a statement, “While in sequence for deicing, the tail of a Delta 737 aircraft reportedly made contact with a wing tip of another airline’s aircraft. There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels.”

The FAA said it will investigate.

Per Fox News:

Exactly one week after a passenger plane and Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed midair near D.C., killing 67, a Japan Airlines plane and Delta Airlines plane collided in Seattle.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) announced on social media Wednesday that Port of Seattle Fire, police and SEA operations responded to an incident just after 10:15 a.m. local time, on a ramp on a taxi line between S Concourse and the south airport maintenance hangars.

The incident involved a taxing Japan Airlines aircraft “that appears to have struck” the tail of a parked Delta Air Lines aircraft, according to a statement from the airport, posted to X.
