On the evening of October 1, two Endeavor Air CRJ-900s operating for Delta Connection collided during low speed taxiing at New York’s La Guardia Airport just before 22:00 local time. Thankfully, only one minor injury was reported by a flight attendant on EDV5155.
EDV5047 was taxiing to the gate after landing at La Guardia (LGA) from Charlotte, while EDV5155 was taxiing to the runway for departure to Roanoke. EDV5047 taxied on TWY B to TWY M and was crossing TWY A when it was struck by EDV5155 on TWY A. Based on visual evidence the departing CRJ’s right wing struck the nose of the arriving aircraft. The FAA in a preliminary statement says, “Air traffic control instructed flight 5155 to hold short and yield to the other aircraft.”
Aircraft information
Both flights were operated by Endeavor Air CRJ-900LR aircraft. Endeavor Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, operating flights under the Delta Connection brand.
