Japan Airlines Plane Collides with Delta Aircraft at Seattle-Tacoma Airport

February 6, 2025 by David Jones

A Japan Airlines aircraft collided with a stationary Delta Airlines plane on the runway of Seattle-Tacoma Airport on Wednesday morning. The incident, which occurred at 10:17 a.m., resulted in damage to both planes but no injuries were reported. The Japan Airlines plane was taxiing across the tarmac when its wing struck the tail of the parked Delta plane.

Images shared by passengers on social media depicted the wing of the Japan Airlines plane slicing halfway through the tail of the Delta aircraft. One passenger described the incident as “very scary,” adding that the impact was loud and startling. The plane was subsequently inspected for further damage.

Despite the collision, the airport reported that the incident had a “minimal impact” on its operations. The airport is currently working with both airlines to ensure the safe disembarkation of passengers and their transportation to the terminal.

This incident comes amidst a tense period for airports nationwide, following two recent fatal accidents. Just a week prior, a collision between a US Army helicopter and an American Airlines jet at Reagan National Airport resulted in the deaths of 67 people. Two days later, a medical evacuation jet in Philadelphia crashed onto a busy street and exploded, killing all six people on board and one person on the ground.

Adding to the unease, the Federal Aviation Administration’s Notice to Air Missions system (NOTAM), which provides crucial information about potential hazards to aircraft and airports, experienced an outage over the weekend. Although the system was restored on Sunday, the outage caused delays for hundreds of flights.

A Frontier Airlines passenger was restrained mid-flight after a violent outburst on a February 4th flight from Denver to Houston. 

The incident, which took place aboard Flight 4856, began about 20 minutes into the flight when the passenger, whose identity has not been disclosed, allegedly started screaming in multiple languages and became increasingly agitated.

According to passenger Tanner Phillips, the man attempted to communicate with the woman seated in front of him, but when she didn’t respond, he began punching the seat in front of him and the airplane window.

“He was screaming in multiple languages, punching at the window, lying back, and trying to kick it out,” Phillips recalled during an interview with ABC World News Tonight.

The chaos continued as the man’s actions caused damage to the aircraft window, with cracks appearing in the glass, and blood reportedly splattered on the window from the passenger’s injuries.

Other passengers quickly reacted, restraining the combative individual and securing his arms in an effort to prevent further escalation.

Despite the terrifying incident, Frontier Airlines decided not to press charges against the passenger.
