Two jets set to take off clip each other at N.Y.-area airport NEWARK, N.J. Two airplanes taxiing while preparing for takeoff at Newark Liberty International Airport clipped each other Wednesday night, authorities said. No one was injured when the planes touched around 7:30 p.m. at one of the nation's busiest airports, Federal Aviation Administration officials said. A Scandinavian Airlines plane's left wing clipped the tail of a United Airlines plane while they were on a taxiway. Scandinavian Airlines Flight 908, an Airbus A330 bound for Oslo, Norway, was directly behind ExpressJet Flight 4226, an Embraer E145 destined for Nashville, Tenn., on the taxiway and was turning right to get onto another taxiway when its wing clipped the ExpressJet plane's tail, officials said. The tail was left crumpled, reports CBS New York Station WCBS-TV. The ExpressJet plane was towed back to the gate, and the Scandinavian Airlines plane taxied back to the gate, where passengers disembarked, the station says. New flights were arranged for all passengers from both planes, WCBS says. The accident is being investigated. Scandinavian Airlines, which has hubs in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, didn't immediately respond to telephone messages and emails seeking comment. ExpressJet Airlines released a statement Wednesday night saying it is "working in coordination with officials to determine a cause." All 31 passengers on the plane were re-accommodated, the airline said. ExpressJet, which bills itself as the world's largest regional airline, operates as a United Express partner from United's Newark hub. United, which has headquarters in Chicago, is part of United Continental Holdings Inc.
