Two passenger planes collided on the tarmac at Heathrow in front of stunned travellers.

A Virgin Atlantic 787 crashed with a British Airways Airbus A350 while pushing back from the terminal.

Both aircrafts were left with minor damage.

Virgin Atlantic said: ‘We are aware that the wingtip of one of our empty aircraft came into contact with another aircraft whilst being towed from the stand at London Heathrow Terminal 3.

‘The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority. We can confirm no customers were on board the Virgin Atlantic aircraft during this time.
‘We’ve commenced a full and thorough investigation and our engineering teams are performing maintenance checks on the aircraft, which for now has been taken out of service.’
