Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Chicago, Illinois

On May 21, 2021, the Boeing 737-7H4 aircraft (registration N289CT), operated by Southwest Airlines, was involved in an accident at Chicago, Illinois (United States) due to a ground occurrence during operations. Source: the NTSB (United States).

What happened

On 21 May 2021, at about 12:30, two Southwest Boeing 737s collided while taxiing near the gates at Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), Illinois, with no injuries among passengers or crew. N289CT had landed and was holding with the brake set on the J line leading to gate B-15, waiting for the marshallers. On releasing the brake, the crew felt a jolt: N8686A, taxiing towards runway 22L via taxiways T and Y, had struck the rear of N289CT's horizontal stabiliser with its right winglet. The subsequent inspection revealed substantial damage to both of N289CT's elevators and minor damage to N8686A's right winglet. Source: the NTSB (United States).
