The right wing of a China Southern Boeing 777 hit the tail of a Kuwait Boeing 777, damaging both aircrafts, the Port Authority said. No one was injured and all the passengers got off safely, according to the Port Authority.

Kuwait Airways said on Twitter that Flight 118 from New York to Kuwait was struck by the Chinese plane as it was parked before takeoff. The passengers were taken to hotels as they waited for alternative flights, the airline said.
