## Summary

A Copa Airlines passenger jet and a UPS cargo plane collided at a taxiway intersection at Miami International Airport, injuring two people. The incident matters because it damaged both aircraft and happened during widespread disruption to US air travel.

The collision occurred at about 9.15pm local time as the Copa flight arrived from Panama City and the UPS plane was heading to Bogota. The Copa jet’s wing struck the UPS aircraft’s nose; its pilot told air traffic control the cargo plane had gone too far into the intersection. The article also reports that a separate four-hour FAA halt to departing flights affected more than 15,000 flights, with 5,000 further cancellations forecast for Saturday.
