Two planes collided on the runway at the New York airport

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a new incident that occurred this Wednesday, in which a JetBlue plane that was preparing to travel to Puerto Rico from New York hit the tail of another plane from the same company which was parked and without passengers, at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The incident occurred when Flight 1603, which was headed to the Luis Muñoz Marín airport in San Juan, backed away from the boarding gate, around 7 local time (12:00 GMT) with no injuries reported, according to local media.

Both aircraft, model Airbus 320, were taken out of service to be inspected.while the passengers of Flight 1603 were directed to another aircraft.

This is the second incident in a week that the FAA is investigating at the same airport, after last Friday two planes preparing for takeoff were close to colliding when an American Airlines plane crossed the runway at the moment another Delta was accelerating for takeoff.

According to the information that is known, Delta Flight 1943 aborted its takeoff when air traffic controllers warned that one aircraft was entering the runway and managed to stop some 300 meters from the other.

That Delta flight, with 145 passengers on board, was destined for Santo Domingo and was delayed until the next day, while the American Airlines flight, which was headed for London, took off that same night and arrived without problems in the British city.
