Overview

• Preliminary reports say the low-speed contact occurred around 9:56–9:58 p.m. Wednesday on a taxiway as one jet arrived and the other prepared for departure.
• Delta identifies the aircraft as Endeavor Air CRJ‑900s operating Flight 5047 from Charlotte and Flight 5155 bound for Roanoke.
• Air traffic control audio captures the arriving crew reporting that the departing jet’s right wing clipped their nose and shattered cockpit windscreens.
• One flight attendant sustained a minor injury and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, and no passenger injuries were reported by Delta and the Port Authority.
• Passengers were deplaned on the taxiway and bused to Terminal C for food, hotel rooms, and rebooking, with images showing significant damage including a torn wing section and a dented nose; the FAA and NTSB are investigating and no cause has been determined.
