Two Air Canada planes collided on the tarmac at the Vancouver International Airport, local media reported.

While being pushed back from the gate on Sunday, an Air Canada Rouge Airbus A319's wingtip made contact with the wing of a Jazz Air Canada Express Q400, which was parked at a nearby gate, Xinhua news agency quoted the CTV report as saying

No travellers or ground staff were injured, and passengers are being switched to different flights, it said.
