Two Alaska Airlines (AS) planes collided while preparing for takeoff at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), causing passengers to disembark and return to the gate. The incident involved a minor wingtip contact between a Boeing 737-800 and a 737-900, both scheduled for California destinations.
The collision occurred just after noon on Saturday (May 17, 2025) as ground-service tugs pushed the aircraft back from their gates. Flights to Orange County (SNA) and Sacramento (SMF) were impacted, though no injuries or significant delays were reported.
