Delta B757 clips wings with another jet at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta airport  

A wing-clipping incident took place at Atlanta’s Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport (ATL) on August 10, 2025.  

A Delta Air Lines Boeing 757-200 aircraft, operating flight DL1830, was pushing away from the gate around 10.30 local time, ahead of its departure for La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City (GUA), when the tip of one of its wings hit a parked aircraft. 

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. All 192 passengers and six crew members onboard DL1830 had to disembark and wait for the airline to assign another aircraft to operate this service. The Guatemala-bound flight finally departed four hours after the original scheduled time. 

The other aircraft, the details of which are not known, also belonged to Delta Air Lines and was reportedly empty at the time of the incident. 

This is the latest in a series of wing clipping incidents in the United States over the course of the last few months.  

In May 2025, two Alaska Airlines B737 aircraft clipped wings at Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEA) and, a few months earlier, in November 2024, a similar incident took place at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) when an American Airlines Boeing 777 struck the wing of a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321.  The post Delta B757 clips wings with another jet at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta airport   appeared first on AeroTime.
