A Delta Air Lines flight bound for Guatemala City experienced a minor setback Sunday morning at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. During pushback from the gate, the wing of Delta flight 1830 reportedly clipped an empty Delta aircraft.
The 192 passengers, along with the flight crew, were unharmed and subsequently re-accommodated on a different aircraft. The flight eventually arrived in Guatemala City at 3:01 pm CST, over three hours behind schedule.
Delta apologized for the inconvenience and delay. No injuries were reported, and further details regarding the incident are currently unavailable.
