Here’s what happened to Japan Airlines and Delta planes

Based on a Fox News report, on February 5, 2025, a Japan Airlines aircraft was preparing to move (taxi) when its right wing lightly touched the tail of a stationary Delta Airlines aircraft.

The accident happened at Seattle’s airport around sunrise, prompting the airport to share information about it via Facebook. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a crash involving Delta Air Lines flight 1921 and Japan Airlines flight 68 transpired approximately 10:40 AM.

🛬 Just now, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport shared an update: A minor incident took place between the S Concourse and the southern maintenance hangars – specifically, in the taxi line connecting these two points. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported so far! We’re collaborating closely with the airlines to ensure passenger safety as they disembark and make their way to the terminal. Rest assured, this incident happened on a taxiway, so it has only a minor impact on our overall airport operations. 🛬 #SEATAC

A Delta Airlines aircraft, bound for Puerto Vallarta, held 142 passengers. Unfortunately, due to a collision, these passengers were shifted to another flight instead. Meanwhile, the Japan Airlines plane had 13 crew members and 172 passengers on board.

Furthermore, according to People Magazine, Delta Airlines admitted that during the process of de-icing, the tail of one of their Boeing 737 planes may have collided with a wing tip from another airline’s plane.
