An Air Canada plane has been grounded for repairs after crashing with another aircraft at Los Angeles International Airport following a flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga.<\/p>\n

The incident happened when an Air Canada plane was being towed to a gate after landing in LAX around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, according to reports. That\u2019s when the aircraft was hit by the left wing of a Delta Airlines plane.<\/p>\n

Air Canada says in a statement that Flight 785 had arrived from Toronto before \u201can aircraft operated by another airline made contact with its tail.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says the plane will be taken out of service for inspection and repairs.<\/p>\n

The flight left Pearson at 8:38 a.m. (ET) and landed at 10:20 (PT), but was delayed nearly an hour and a half getting to the gate following the collision, according to data from Flightaware.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.<\/p>\n

The U.S. agency says the Delta plane\u2019s left wingtip clipped the Air Canada aircraft\u2019s horizontal stabilizer, a wing-like structure at the tail of a plane.<\/p>\n
