Two aircraft made contact while taxiing at Miami International Airport on Saturday night, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.

The arriving and departing planes touched at the intersection of two taxiways around 9:15 p.m. Fire rescue crews treated two people on the scene for minor injuries, the agency said.

Airport operations have not been significantly affected. Flights are being redirected to other taxiways while crews work the area, and no delays tied to the incident were reported in the source material.

The incident is the second aircraft contact at Miami International to draw attention in the past two days, and travelers flying through the airport may see some rerouting on the ground in the coming hours.
