Two easyJet flights collided at Manchester airport, causing brief flight suspensions. At around 6:30 AM, the wing tips of the aircraft, which were headed to Paris and Gibraltar, clipped each other as they taxied. Both planes returned safely to their stands, allowing all passengers to disembark without any reported injuries. EasyJet initiated an investigation and provided passengers with refreshment vouchers due to the delays. There was a significant presence of emergency services at the scene following the incident.
Tynisha Chaudhry, who was on the Gibraltar-bound flight, compared the collision to a car crash, saying, 'We felt the whole plane shudder - it was a massive hit.'
EasyJet stated, 'EasyJet can confirm that the wing tips of two aircraft came into contact while taxiing... The aircraft returned to stand to disembark customers.'
