A UPS cargo aircraft and a Copa Airlines passenger jet collided at Miami International Airport in Florida, triggering an emergency response but causing no reported injuries.
CBS News, quoting airport officials, reported that the aircraft involved were a Boeing 767 operated by UPS and a Boeing 737 operated by Copa Airlines.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said the incident occurred at about 9.15pm local time when an aircraft that had just landed and another preparing for departure made contact at a taxiway intersection.
"There were no injuries reported," Miami International Airport communications director Greg Chin told CBS News Miami.
He said other aircraft were directed to use alternative taxiways, but the incident did not disrupt airport operations.
UPS Flight 358 was scheduled to depart Miami for Bogota, Colombia, while Copa Airlines Flight 427 was arriving from Panama City, Panama, where the airline is headquartered.
The incident occurred as Miami International Airport continued to experience flight delays and cancellations following a nationwide temporary suspension of flight operations ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that it would take time for flight operations to return to normal as airlines worked to reposition aircraft and crews across the country.
However, FAA administrator Bryan Bedford said on Saturday that US flight schedules were expected to return to normal by the end of Sunday. - November 15, 2026
