ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - An Atlanta-bound Southwest Airlines flight from Florida was delayed after the right wing of the plane clipped a truck on the tarmac.
The Orlando Sentinel (https://bit.ly/1z4Ws4i ) reports the jet was backing up along the Orlando International Airport tarmac when the wing of the aircraft hit a provisioning truck Sunday. Southwest Flight 1717 was scheduled to take off at 5:20 p.m., but was delayed over an hour after the incident. A Southwest spokesman says the plane only made “very light contact” with the truck. The flight was able to take off at 6:50 p.m. after the maintenance crew did a thorough inspection of the aircraft.
No one was injured. There was no damage on the truck or plane.
