UPS and Copa aircraft collide while taxiing at Miami airport
A UPS aircraft and a Copa Airlines plane collided while taxiing at Miami International Airport on Saturday night. The incident matters because it raises questions about airport ground safety, although a fire department source described it as minor.
The Copa plane had just arrived from Panama City when it was struck. In air traffic control audio, a UPS pilot said the aircraft had gone too far and clipped the other plane’s wing; reports said the nose of one plane hit the other’s wing tip. Two people on the Copa flight reportedly complained of back pain, and further details were being sought from the airport and airlines.
