While taxiing at Miami International Airport on a Saturday night, a UPS plane contacted a Copa Airlines jet that had just landed from Panama City. Air traffic control audio captured a pilot saying another aircraft had hit them, and later acknowledging they had gone too far before the other plane’s wing clipped them. The nose of one aircraft and the wingtip of the other were damaged.
Officials said two people reported minor back pain and were treated at the scene, with no one transported to the hospital and no disruption to airport operations. UPS confirmed its crew was safe and said it would work with authorities to determine what happened.
