One of the planes had multiple members of Congress onboard.

Per NBC News:

A plane carrying at least a half-dozen U.S. House of Representatives members was clipped by another aircraft on the ground at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., on Thursday, officials said.

U.S. Reps. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Grace Meng, D-N.Y., and Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., all confirmed on social media they were aboard the American Airlines plane that was clipped at about 12:45 p.m.

Two of those lawmakers also confirmed that U.S. Reps Adriano Espaillat and Ritchie Torres, both Democrats from New York, were also aboard that craft.

Meeks said a total of seven “members of Congress were on board along with dozens of other concerned passengers.”

Both planes were connected to American Airlines, the FAA and airline both said.

“American Eagle flight 5490, operated by PSA Airlines, made contact on a DCA taxiway with American Eagle flight 4522, operated by Republic Airways,” American Airlines said in a statement. “Safety is our top priority, and we apologize to our customers for their experience.”

“Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. All passengers and crew members were safely evacuated and removed from the aircraft as a precaution. Several members of Congress have confirmed they were on board one of the flights, though none were harmed,” Rawsalerts wrote.

The incident is the latest at Reagan Airport, where 67 people passed away after an American Airlines regional jet collided mid-air with an Army Black Hawk helicopter.

Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences… like just now while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing. Heading back to the gate, but thankfully everyone is ok! (And ⁦@RepGraceMeng⁩ is handing out grapes!) pic.twitter.com/bOo1JNXZDh

BBC reports:

Nick LaLota, a New York Republican, said no-one was hurt when the wing of their stationary plane was “bumped” by another jet.

Sixty-seven people died on 29 January when an Army helicopter collided in midair with a jetliner as it landed at the same airport.

LaLota posted on X: “Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences… like just now while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing.”

“Heading back to the gate, but thankfully everyone is ok,” LaLota added.

He said his colleague, Grace Meng, a New York Democrat, was handing out grapes to passengers on the plane.

She posted on X: “I’m grateful no one was hurt today.”

The Federal Aviation Administration said: “The wingtip of American Airlines Flight 5490 struck American Airlines Flight 4522 on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport around 12:45pm local time on Thursday, April 10.

“Flight 5490, a Bombardier CRJ 900, was headed to Charleston International Airport in South Carolina. Flight 4522, an Embraer E175, was headed to JFK International Airport in New York. The FAA will investigate.”

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport said in a statement that there was no impact on flight operations, and both aircraft returned to gates with no injuries reported.
