FAA investigating Delta airplane that struck tail of regional jet

(Reuters) – Delta Air Lines (NYSE:) said Tuesday the wing of one of its planes struck a regional jet while taxiing for departure at Atlanta airport, damaging both aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate.

The airline said the wing of a Delta Airbus A350 that was set to depart for Tokyo-Haneda made contact with the tail of an Endeavor Air CRJ-900 that was scheduled to department for LaFayette, Louisiana, resulting in damage to the tail of the regional jet and the wing of the A350. Endeavor is a wholly owned Delta subsidiary. Delta said there were reported injuries.
