		</div><p>An easyJet flight bound for London has collided with another aircraft at Amsterdam airport, causing hours of delays for passengers but no reported injuries.</p>
<p>A picture posted to social media showed the Gatwick-bound plane’s wing in contact with the side of a KLM jet.</p>
<p>One passenger on board the aircraft to London told PA he experienced “a bit of a jolt” after the collision but added it was “nothing unusual”.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>He said those on board were forced to wait for more than an hour on the tarmac while staff worked out how to deal with the incident.</p>
<p>The passenger added that those due to fly on the easyJet service were facing a total delay of around five hours as a result of the collision, but said “I’m just happy everyone is OK”.</p>
<blockquote><p>EasyJet can confirm that two aircraft made contact during pushback from stand</p></blockquote>
<p>LVNL, the Dutch air control authority, said the planes collided during “pushback”, the process by which the plane reverses away from the gate before take-off.</p>
<p>In a statement, easyJet said: “EasyJet can confirm that two aircraft made contact during pushback from stand, one of which was easyJet flight EJU8868 from Amsterdam to London Gatwick.</p>
<p>“Passengers have now disembarked into the terminal where they have been provided with updates and refreshment vouchers. The flight is now due to be operated by a replacement aircraft.</p>
<p>“The safety of its passengers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority and an investigation has been launched in line with procedure to understand what happened.”</p>
<p>KLM said passengers on its plane – which was due for Madrid – had already been put on a replacement flight to their destination.</p>
<p>It is currently unclear how much damage was caused to either aircraft during the incident.</p>
