Delta Air Lines saw two of its aircraft collide at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) on Saturday. A departing Boeing 737 bumped into the tail of a parked Airbus A320. This led to the cancellation of two flights while damage is being assessed.
The Boeing 737 was being used for flight DL2046. This was scheduled to fly to Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN). The Airbus A320 was scheduled to fly as DL2677 to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). After the planes collided, the flights were cancelled, and passengers needed to be rebooked for the following day. There were no injuries reported on either aircraft and the extent of the damage has also not been officially released.
Delta released the following statement after the incident:
Delta teams worked to reaccommodate customers to their final destinations after the wingtip of Delta flight DL2046 made contact with a parked aircraft at SLC. We sincerely apologize for the delay to their travels.”
Lucky at One Mile at a Time shared the video above that nicely encapsulates the incident.
Anthony’s Take: Ground collisions do occur and someone is going to be in trouble for this one. The captain wanted a faster takeoff and ended up with a cancellation. Luckily, no one was injured.
