<p>A Delta Airlines plane traveling to Guatemala clipped the wing of an empty jet Sunday morning in Atlanta, the airline said in a statement.</p>
<p>The wing of Delta flight DL1830 "reportedly made contact" with an empty Delta jet while pushing back from the gate, an airline spokesperson told CNN.</p>
<p>There were no reports of injuries among the 192 passengers and six crew members on board, the carrier noted.</p>
<p>The flight, from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Guatemala City, had been scheduled to take off shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday morning.</p>
<p>The passengers were reboarded on a second plane and took off from Atlanta shortly before 2 p.m., according to FlightAware.</p>
<p>The incident happened "in an area where air traffic controllers do not communicate with flight crews," the Federal Aviation Administration said. The agency said it would investigate.</p>
<p>Sunday's mishap comes less than two weeks after severe turbulence struck a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Minnesota and sending 25 people on board to hospitals.</p>
