Plane Carrying 6 Members of Congress Is Clipped at Reagan Airport

Two American Airlines jets, including one carrying at least six members of Congress from New York and New Jersey, clipped wings on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington on Thursday, officials said.

There were no injuries, according to American Airlines, which said that the damage was limited to the winglets of the two planes and that both jets had been taken out of service for inspection.

The six House members were departing for Kennedy International Airport when the right winglet of their Embraer E175, which was stationary, was clipped by a regional jet heading to Charleston, S.C., officials said.

“I’ve been flying for over 10 years to Washington,” Representative Grace Meng, Democrat of New York, said during a Zoom call with reporters while waiting for another flight. “This has never happened to me.”
