Two airplanes almost collided along the runway of Jorge B. Newbery Metropolitan Airport. No injured people were reported, according to authorities.
The incident took place today at noon when the tip of the wing of a Gol airplane (Flight 7678) that had just landed from Sao Paulo brushed the fuselage of a LAN’s airplane that was stopped waiting for authorization to take off to Iguazú, Misiones province.
The LAN flight was immediately suspended in order to take all necessary technical check-ups.
The Aviation Investigation committee is already studying the case to find out what happened and who was responsible for the maneuvers.
