The crash occurred at roughly 4 p.m. between the wingtip of an Aeroméxico plane and the stabilizer of a Delta Airline plane. No injuries were reported.

According to Aeroméxico, that company’s flight AM117 from Mexico City to Ciudad Juárez, a Boeing 737-800, accidentally clipped the Delta Airlines plane, which was preparing to take off for New York.

The Delta flight was DL624.

The Aeroméxico passengers were transferred to another plane and continued their trip as planned with only a slight delay.
