Luftsansa 747 and CO 757 bump in EWR

Not a good week for EWR ops.

NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) — Two commercial planes bumped into each other Tuesday on a Newark International Airport runway, delaying hundreds of passengers on a trans-Atlantic flight.

Lufthansa flight LH403, headed to Frankfurt, Germany, bumped into another plane, said Lufthansa spokeswoman Jennifer Urbaniak.

A wing on the Lufthansa Boeing 747 was damaged, she said. The airline was getting the 294 passengers off the plane, she said.

No injuries were reported.

The second plane was an empty Continental Airlines Boeing 757, which was being relocated to a remote overnight parking spot “and was in a stationary position” when the contact occurred, the airline said in a statement.

It “was apparently brushed by a taxiing Lufthansa 747 aircraft,” Continental said. “It appears that the 747’s left wing brushed the 757’s right wing.”
