An official statement from EgyptAir said that while the company's flight was preparing to take off from New York airport bound for Cairo, minor contact occurred between the wings of the EgyptAir aircraft and a Virgin Atlantic aircraft before takeoff.
EgyptAir confirmed that all passengers were disembarked and accommodated at a hotel near John F. Kennedy Airport, and that they will resume their journey to Cairo on the company's flight 986, departing today at 18:00 (6 p.m.) New York time, taking into account booking changes and their coordination with transit flights so as not to affect passengers' commitments.
