The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says that an American airline plane carrying at least three members of the United States Conference was shocked by the taxi corridor by other US air aircraft wing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The American Airlines 5490, Bombardier CRJ 900, headed to Charleston, South Carolina, hit an American Flight 4522. No injuries were reported.
Actor Josh Jotimir, a democratic in New Jersey, said on social media that he was on a trip to New York when the accident occurred while waiting to take off on the runway.
The latest incident in Rigan National will intensify the audit on how to deal with air traffic at the airport outside Washington, DC, which has a more crowded American runway.
FAA will investigate. US Airlines said that both planes are imposed on the station and were removed from service to search it by maintenance teams. The damage was limited to each plane.
American added that the passengers will replace the aircraft to continue their flights.
While waiting to take off the runway at DCA now, another plane hit our wing. Praise be to God, everyone is safe.
Just a reminder: recent discounts to FAA weakens our general sky and safety.
