HOUSTON (AP) — Flights were delayed and canceled Wednesday evening at Houston's William P. Hobby Airport as crews cleaned up after two private jets clipped wings when they were moving on the airfield, officials said.
No injuries were reported and the city fire department said there was no risk of fire after the collision around 3:30 p.m. at the airport southeast of downtown.
“Due to the debris caused by the accident, the airfield is shut down until further notice,” Hobby Airport said on X.
In an update just after 5 p.m., the airport said it diverted 11 flights and canceled four, ABC 13 reported.
The money will go toward new safety measures, including automation to alert air traffic controllers about planes that are heading for the wrong runway.
