Officials 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.
