Two Delta aeroplanes have collided at the La Guardia Airport, in New York, at the wee hours of today, 2nd October 2025. The two planes’ fuselages were damaged, and one plane had one of its wings excised from the fuselage, while the other had its nose visibly dented.
The two Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft were owned by Endeavour Airlines, a subsidiary of Delta. They were exclusively in service for the distribution of Delta’s passengers to various destinations in North America’s hinterland.
An Endeavour Air aircraft with flight number 5155 was taxiing for takeoff, departing for Roanoke, Virginia, and another Endeavour Air aircraft with flight number 5047, which had just safely landed, arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, and was taxiing to park, when it rammed into the aircraft rolling for takeoff thus, threatened the safety of the passengers, the equipment involved and others parked.
All 83 passengers onboard were safely deplaned and offered food, hotel rooms, and rebooking on new flights by Delta.
According to a statement by Delta airline, among the passengers, one person suffered “non-life-threatening injuries” and was taken to the hospital. The statement added that one flight attendant also suffered minor injuries, for which first aid was promptly administered.
A Delta spokesperson was quoted to have said, “Delta will work with all relevant authorities to review what occurred as the safety of our customers and the people comes before all else”.
The spokesperson in his appeal commiserated with the affected passengers and pleaded with other passengers who, as a result of the serious incident, would experience delays; he said, “We apologise to our customers for the experience.”
However, LaGuardia airport management, through a very senior official, confirmed the incident did not disrupt wider airport operations.
