Aircraft collision at Miami International Airport

Two aircraft were involved in a low-speed collision at Miami International Airport on Saturday evening around 21:15 local time. The incident occurred at the intersection of two taxiways when a UPS Boeing 767, scheduled to depart for Bogota, Colombia, as flight 358, came into contact with a Copa Airlines Boeing 737, which had just arrived from Panama City as flight 427.

Airport officials confirmed that the collision resulted in minor material damage to the aircraft, specifically involving a wing and a nose section. No injuries were reported, although two individuals received medical assessment at the scene without requiring hospitalization. The event did not impact the airport's overall operations, as subsequent traffic was rerouted to alternative taxiways. This incident took place while the airport was already experiencing ongoing delays and flight cancellations due to a broader nationwide suspension of flights.
