NEW YORK (WBTV) – An airplane that took off from Charlotte collided with another plane on a taxiway at a New York City airport on Wednesday night, according to a report.
CBS News reported the plane — which was operating as Endeavor Flight 5047 — landed at LaGuardia Airport in New York and was hit by Endeavor Flight 5155, which was about to leave for Roanoke, Va.
Endeavor is a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. After the Oct. 1 collision, Delta said in a statement to CBS that the two airplanes made contact when the wing of Flight 5155 hit the fuselage of Flight 5047. Delta called the incident a “low-speed collision.”
CBS reported that a flight attendant needed medical treatment.
Delta told CBS that 61 people — including four crew members — were on Flight 5047 from Charlotte, while 32 people were on the other plane.
The collision reportedly happened around 10 p.m.
