TORONTO – An investigation is being carried out after two Ryanair aircraft “clipped one another” on the runway at Dublin Airport Tuesday morning.
One flight was departing to Edinburgh in Scotland while the other was heading to Charleroi in Belgium.
Emergency services attended the scene; no passengers were reportedly injured.
Passengers on board posted photos of the damaged planes on social media. Photos of the aftermath appear to show a tip of one plane’s wing missing .

A passenger on one of the aircraft said although the impact was minimal, she still felt the plane shake.
“We just kind of turned a corner and hit into another plane,” said Andrea Cunningham in an interview on RTE’s Morning Ireland programme. “It wasn’t a huge impact to be honest but you could see the plane shook and then it kind of just stopped.”
Ryanair said that both aircraft were under the instruction of Dublin Airport Air Traffic Control at the time of the collision.
