ARLINGTON (AP) – Authorities say the wing tip of an American Airlines plane struck another plane from the same airline on a taxiway of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. No injuries were reported from the contact between the two aircraft Thursday. Authorities say the wing tip of a plane heading to Charleston, South Carolina, struck a plane enroute to New York City. Both planes returned to their gates afterward. American Airlines said damage was limited to a winglet on each aircraft. The airline said both planes would be taken out of service for inspection and that replacement aircraft would take passengers to their destinations. The incident happened just after the FAA brought new air traffic control managers at the airport.
