An easyJet flight from Amsterdam to London Gatwick was delayed after colliding with another plane on a taxiway.<\/p>\n
Passengers onboard flight EJU8868 said the wing of their plane was \u201clodged in a KLM tail\u201d and that they were stuck onboard while the incident was investigated.<\/p>\n
Jye Sandiford, who was waiting on the plane, said they had been stuck on the tarmac for 90 minutes after the collision on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
The KLM flight is thought to have been departing Amsterdam Schiphol for Madrid.<\/p>\n
One passenger onboard said he experienced \u201ca bit of a jolt\u201d after the collision but added it was \u201cnothing unusual\u201d.<\/p>\n
He added that those due to fly on the easyJet service were facing a total delay of around five hours as a result of the collision, but said \u201cI\u2019m just happy everyone is OK\u201d.<\/p>\n
LVNL, the Dutch air control authority, said the planes collided during \u201cpushback\u201d, the process by which the plane reverses away from the gate before take-off.<\/p>\n
In a statement, easyJet said: \u201ceasyJet can confirm that two aircraft made contact during pushback from stand, one of which was easyJet flight EJU8868 from Amsterdam to London Gatwick.<\/p>\n
\u201cPassengers have now disembarked into the terminal where they have been provided with updates and refreshment vouchers. The flight is now due to be operated by a replacement aircraft.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe safety of its passengers and crew is easyJet\u2019s highest priority and an investigation has been launched in line with procedure to understand what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
A similar incident happened at the airport in February, when two KLM planes crashed while taxiing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
