PUNTA GORDA, Fla. – A flight intended for Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in Springfield collided with another plane, causing minor damage, and canceled one flight in Florida.
According to WINK News, Allegiant flight 1687’s wingtip crashed into the back of another Allegiant flight that was parked nearby.
The plane struck by flight 1687 was empty, leaving only minor damage to the auxiliary power unit.
A central Illinoisan, who was on the flight, said the pilot described the incident as a ‘once in a lifetime scenario.’
Passengers on board the flight exited the plane on the runway and walked back to the airport.
Refunds and additions funds were given to passengers as an apology.
The plans remain in the same place as the collision for FAA inspection.
