Taxiway Collision at LAX: Delta and Air Canada Aircraft Involved in Minor Wingtip Strike, Prompting Federal Investigation
A routine ground maneuver at one of the world’s busiest airports turned into a complex logistical incident when a departing Delta jet clipped the tail of a stationary Air Canada aircraft, triggering an NTSB probe but miraculously resulting in zero injuries among the 290 people aboard. Delta and Air Canada aircraft involved in a minor collision at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on October 6. The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 a.m. local time and involved Delta Flight 7, which was preparing to depart for Tokyo Haneda with 275 passengers and 15 crew members, and AirCanada Flight 875, which had recently arrived from Toronto and was being towed to its gate. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Delta aircraft’s left wingtip clipped the horizontal stabilizer, the perpendicular fin at the rear of the tail of the Air Canada jet. Despite the collision, no injuries were reported on either aircraft. Both airlines and airport authorities moved quickly to address the situation and reassure the public. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is beginning a multi-layered investigation into the incident, which will likely include air traffic control communications, cockpit voice recordings, ground radar data, and the protocols followed by the towing crew.
