Trump's Boeing 757 clipped parked plane after landing at Florida airport Sunday, FAA says
Tue, May 14, 2024
The wing of the Boeing jet owned by former President Donald Trump struck a parked plane at a Florida airport after landing safely and taxiing early Sunday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday.
It is not known if Trump, who had held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his Boeing 757 when its winglet struck the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.
No injuries were reported in the collision.
The FAA notice about the incident, which occurred at 1:19 a.m. ET on Sunday, gives the tail number of Trump's aircraft, N757AF.
In a statement, the FAA said, "A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12."
"While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet," the FAA said. "The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft. The FAA is investigating."
A winglet is a short fin that projects upward from the wing of an aircraft. They are used to reduce aerodynamic drag.
