ATLANTA (AP) — A Delta Air Lines plane clipped another aircraft while pushing back from the gate Sunday morning in Atlanta, the airline said.
The wing of the plane “reportedly made contact” with an empty aircraft, Delta said in a brief written statement to The Associated Press.
The flight was scheduled to travel from Atlanta to Guatemala City, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight disruptions. Passengers were transferred to another plane following a delay.
On board the commercial aircraft were 192 customers, two pilots and four flight attendants.
No injuries were reported, according to Delta, which has its headquarters in Atlanta.
Additional information on the incident was not immediately available.

A rare magnum of Dom Pérignon Vintage 1961 champagne that was specially produced for the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana has failed to sell during an auction. Danish auction house Bruun Rasmussen handled the bidding Thursday. The auction's house website lists the bottle as not sold. It was expected to fetch up to around $93,000. It is one of 12 bottles made to celebrate the royal wedding. Little was revealed about the seller. The auction house says the bids did not receive the desired minimum price.
