Title is incorrect. The collision occurred on the ground.
JAL was flying/landing, so this was a “midair”.
“Title is incorrect. The collision occurred on the ground.”
This story has changed several times, due to poor journalism or confusing translation. The JAL had landed and as it was taxiing a wing delivered a glancing blow a either a waiting aircraft or another taxiing aircraft. I’m not sure if that’s a correct summary or not.
It is remarkable that no one was injured and that speaks very highly of the JAL flight crew who were obviously well-trained and immediately deployed egress slides. Japanese passengers were composed enough and quickly exited the aircraft in an orderly fashion.
