United flight clipped by another jet at Chicago's O'Hare airport
A United Airlines jet was clipped by another jet while they were taxiing at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Wednesday.
According to an emailed statement from an FAA spokesperson to The Hill, an American Airlines Boeing 737-800 jet “struck the tail of” a United Airlines 787 jet while taxiing on separate taxiways at Chicago O'Hare International Airport at about 10:00 a.m. CST.
The American flight was headed to Los Angeles, and the United flight was off to Honolulu, the FAA stated, adding that it will investigate the incident.
In its own statement emailed to The Hill, United said an aircraft from a different airline “made contact with the tail cone of a stationary United plane while on the taxiway awaiting departure.” United said there are no reports of injuries, and the airline will provide another aircraft for customers.
American said in an emailed statement to The Hill that one of its flights “made contact with a nearby aircraft on the taxiway” while taxiing in Chicago. The airline said those on the plane exited “normally at the gate,” with the passengers departing via "replacement aircraft” later that day.
“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience this caused,” American said in its statement.
