Two planes collided at the Jorge Newbery airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday (November 7). No injuries were reported.
According to local media, the incident occurred at 4:20 p.m. when an Argentine Airlines Boeing 737 bound for Tucuman was preparing to initiate a take off maneuver when it crashed its right wing stabilizer into the rear tail of an Austral E190 aircraft. Both aircrafts suffered minor damages.
It was reported by Clarin that the pilot of Boeing 737, who was preparing to take off, claimed that a person who should have been signalling the take off was missing at the moment of the incident. The Board of Civil Aviation Accidents is investigating the incident.
A conversation between the control tower and the pilots minutes after the incident broadcast on TN News channel indicates confusion and disorganization in the handling of the situation.
Other reports say the cause of the incident may have been that the number of flights handled by the airport exceeds its capacity.
