Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Bobbie Egan says there were no injuries from the 7:05 a.m. Wednesday collision. She says the 139 passengers aboard the Dallas-bound plane being backed up were taken off the plane as a precaution. The other jet was still at its terminal gate and had no passengers on board.
Airport spokesman Perry Cooper says the winglet of the backing jet touched the rear horizontal stabilizer of the other plane at the opposite concourse.
Egan says she has no word on damage to the planes, but both have been taken out of service to be inspected.
