Recently, there was a plane collision at Hollywood Burbank Airport. An American Airlines aircraft was being repositioned when it clipped an Alaskan Airlines A320’s wingtip. There were no injuries, as no one was on board, but the runways were shut down and passengers had to be accommodated to later flights. It was super inconvenient, and, hopefully, it doesn’t happen again.
