UPS cargo plane and Copa Airlines jet collide on Miami taxiways

A UPS Boeing 767 cargo aircraft and a Copa Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet touched each other on intersecting taxiways at Miami International Airport around 9:15 p.m. on Saturday. Both flights were redirected to alternate taxiways, and airport operations continued without major impact.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue treated two individuals for minor injuries at the scene, and neither required transport to a medical facility.

UPS Flight 358 was bound for Bogotá, Colombia, while Copa Airlines Flight 427 was arriving from Panama City, Panama.

The incident occurred amid ongoing delays and cancellations at the airport following a rare nationwide ground stop imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday.

"At approximately 9:15 p.m., an arriving aircraft and a departing aircraft made contact with each other at the intersection of two taxiways. There are no reported injuries and flights are being directed to other taxiways, so there is no impact to airport operations at this time," Greg Chin, communications director at MIA, said in a statement to CBS News Miami.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that flight operations would be slow to return to normal as airlines repositioned aircraft and crews, while FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said the U.S. air travel schedule should be back to normal by the end of Sunday.
