A Virgin Atlantic plane clipped a BA jet at Heathrow but no injuries were reported
A Virgin Atlantic jet collided with another plane while it was being towed at Heathrow Airport on Saturday, but there were no reports of injuries. Virgin said its Boeing 787-9 had completed a flight and had no passengers aboard when its wingtip clipped a stationary British Airways jet while being towed from a stand at the airport’s Terminal 3. Images posted on social media showed several fire trucks surrounding the two planes, whose wings were touching. Both airlines said engineers were examining the planes. Heathrow said that “no passenger injuries have been reported and we do not anticipate there to be any ongoing impact to airport operations.”
