Two easyJet planes ‘clipped wings’ at Manchester Airport, tearing one of the flight’s wings off.
The planes collided just after 6.30am while taxiing, with flights briefly suspended as engineers carried out safety checks.
A witness posted on X: ‘We’ve crashed on the runway.’
Photographs shared by witnesses of one of the damaged aircraft show the tip of the wing twisted.
Another image appeared to show half the wing tip missing of the plane, which data from the monitoring website FlightRadar24 suggests it was bound for Gibraltar.
