CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The FAA is investigating an incident at O’Hare Tuesday night involving two planes that were damaged.

The FAA said the GoJet and SkyWest planes were waiting for gate space at Terminal 2 at about 7 p.m.

The wingtip of the SkyWest plane, operating as United Express, clipped the wing of the GoJet plane. Both taxied to the gates without incident.

The damage was being evaluated.

The same SkyWest flight, #5433, was involved in another incident at O’Hare in October, when, authorities said, a gust of wind blew a baggage cart into the plane.
