Jet blast from an American Airlines Boeing 737-800 dislodged some construction barriers at Los Angeles International Airport, causing them to strike an engine of a nearby Delta Air Lines jet, airport officials said Friday.
The incident at about 10:20 p.m. Thursday was caused by American Airlines Flight 2415, which was arriving from Miami.
Air from the American plane’s engines caused damage to the nearby Delta Air Lines Boeing 777, which had been scheduled to fly to Sydney, Australia.
“The barricades struck underneath the 777’s left engine,” LAX spokeswoman Amanda Parsons said in an email. “Due to the damage to the aircraft engine cowling, Delta operations canceled the flight.”
American, which uses Terminal 4, and Delta, which uses Terminal 5, share an alleyway at LAX.
Parsons said the incident is under investigation.
