A plane has clipped wings with another plane while taxiing at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the right wing of EgyptAir Flight 986, a Boeing 777 headed to Cairo, touched the left wing of London-bound Virgin Atlantic Flight 4C.
It happened just after 7 p.m. Monday. There were no reports of any injuries.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says both planes returned to the terminal. Officials say the Virgin Atlantic, an Airbus A333, had to be towed.
