New York, NY - A collision between two Delta Air Lines regional jets occurred Wednesday evening at LaGuardia Airport. The incident involved two Endeavor Air flights, both Delta Connection aircraft, during taxiing operations.

According to a statement released by Delta, Endeavor flight 5155, preparing for departure, made contact with Endeavor flight 5047, which was taxiing towards its gate after arrival. The airline described the incident as a low-speed collision.

Air Traffic Control audio captured a pilot reporting damage to the aircraft's windscreen and cockpit screens.

A flight attendant sustained a minor injury and was transported to a nearby hospital as a precautionary measure. No passenger injuries were reported. The Port Authority confirmed the incident occurred around 9:56 p.m. and stated that airport operations were unaffected.
