Air Canada planes collide on runway

RICHMOND - Two Air Canada planes collided on the south runway at Vancouver International Airport Thursday afternoon, causing minor damage to both, said Bill Yearwood of the Transportation Safety Board.

He said there were no injuries to the passengers or crew on either plane.

The wingtip of a Hong Kong-bound Air Canada Airbus 340 hit the tail of an Air Canada Jazz Dash-8 as it was taxiing to the runway for takeoff.

He said it's not the first time a collision has occurred at that location at the airport and all parties will examine how to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Neither plane made its scheduled flight, due to necessary repairs. Passengers were booked on other flights.
