Summary

A Delta Air Lines plane collided with an Air Canada aircraft on a taxiway at Los Angeles International Airport on October 6. The Delta flight was taxiing for departure to Tokyo when its left wingtip clipped the horizontal stabilizer of the Air Canada plane, which was being towed to its gate after arriving from Toronto. No injuries to crew or passengers were reported. Both aircraft were taken out of service for inspection, and normal flight operations at LAX continued. The FAA is investigating the incident, and the NTSB is gathering information to determine whether a formal investigation is necessary. The collision was described as small.
