An investigation is under way after two passenger planes collided while taxiing at Manchester Airport. The BMI Baby Boeing 737 travelling to Belfast International and an Excel Airways Boeing 767 travelling to Goa touched wings outside Terminal Two. Seventy-nine passengers were on board the BMI Baby plane while 255 were on the Excel Airways plane, though no-one is thought to have been injured. Air accident investigators were at the scene on Thursday afternoon. 'Wings clipped' A Greater Manchester Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We received reports that there had been a minor collision between two planes on the runway. "We believe that the wings of the two planes may have clipped." The passengers from the affected flights were taken back to Terminal One to await alternative flights to continue their journeys. A flight taking some of the passengers to Belfast was expected to arrive at 2115 GMT. Other flights at the airport are said to be running as normal. A spokesman for BMI Baby said: "We can confirm there was an incident at Manchester Airport which involved a BMI Baby aircraft being damaged. "We are not aware of any injuries to passengers or crew. "The incident is currently being investigated." OOOPS!!!!!!!!Kev(Story Courtesy BBC)

Aren't Excel's 767s operated by Air Atlanta? If so, this is just another setback for that company. They already have a lot of negative publicity from their pilots, who are less than happy with the benefits of working there.
