Two Delta regional jets, Endeavor Air flights 5155 and 5047, collided at low speed on a LaGuardia Airport taxiway Wednesday night, resulting in one flight attendant sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. No passengers were harmed, and airport operations remained unaffected.
On Wednesday night, just before 10 p.m., two Endeavor Air regional jets, operating as Delta Connection flights, were involved in a low-speed collision on a taxiway at LaGuardia Airport. Endeavor Air flight 5155, departing for Roanoke, Virginia, had its wing collide with the fuselage of Endeavor Air flight 5047, which had arrived from Charlotte, North Carolina. One flight attendant onboard was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, but all 85 passengers across both aircraft were unharmed. Visual evidence from social media showed the nose of one aircraft visibly dented. Following the incident, passengers were bused back to the terminal, where Delta provided food, beverages, hotel rooms, and rebooking options. Delta issued an apology, stating they are working to care for customers and will collaborate with the Port Authority, FAA, and NTSB to review the incident. LaGuardia Airport operations were not impacted.
