A Delta plane struck the tail of another plane at an Atlanta airport Tuesday morning.
The collision occurred just after 10 a.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as Delta Flight 295 was taxiing for departure and collided with Endeavor Air Flight 5526, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
Video footage taken at the airport shows the Endeavor aircraft hanging over the side of the aircraft with its tail.
There have been no reports of injuries and maintenance crews are investigating the damage, Delta Air Lines said.
The Delta flight was headed to Tokyo and the Endeavor Air flight was headed to Lafayette, Louisiana. Delta said it was working to reaccommodate passengers.
The clash comes weeks after a deadly incident at the same airport, when a tire exploded at a Delta Air Lines facility, killing two crew members and injuring another.
Near-misses have also occurred at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in recent months.
In April, a JetBlue plane preparing for takeoff nearly collided with a Southwest Airlines plane that had been cleared by air traffic control to cross the runway.
Moments before the collision, someone was heard on the radio yelling for both planes to stop, according to the website LiveATC. A source familiar with the matter told NBC News at the time that the planes came within 1,000 feet of each other.
The JetBlue plane had to abort takeoff, the airline said.
A month later, another accident occurred at the airport. An American Airlines flight was cleared to take off, while another plane had already been instructed to land on a runway.
An air traffic controller canceled American’s takeoff clearance “because another aircraft was cleared to land on an intersecting runway,” according to the FAA, which has launched an investigation into the incident.
Last year, the FAA raised concerns at a safety summit to assess whether changes should be made to the way U.S. flights are regulated. The agency said it has “a goal of zero serious close calls” and recently reported a 33 percent decrease in serious runway incursions in fiscal year 2024 compared to 2023.
