2 Jets Involved In Minor Collission On Tarmac At JFK Airport

jfkaOfficials say a commercial jet waiting on the tarmac at New York City�s Kennedy Airport was bumped from behind by another airplane.

They say the mishap, just after 7 p.m. Sunday, involved a Royal Jordanian flight from Amman, Jordan, with 159 passengers and a Chautauqua Airlines flight from Charleston, South Carolina, operating under the Delta name.

No injuries were reported.

A spokesman for Republic Airways, owner of Chautauqua Airlines, says the jet was parked and waiting to approach the gate when the nose of the other aircraft hit the plane�s tail.

He says the Chautauqua aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and all 50 passengers and three crew members departed normally. Maintenance crews were reviewing the damage.

A message left with Royal Jordanian wasn’t immediately returned.
