UPS flight bound for Bogotá; Copa flight arrived from Panama City

UPS Flight 358 had been scheduled to fly from Miami to Bogotá, Colombia, while Copa Airlines Flight 427 was arriving from Panama City, Panama. Copa Airlines is headquartered in Panama City. The airport did not immediately disclose the cause of the collision or the extent of damage to the two aircraft.

Incident follows nationwide ground stop; schedule expected to normalise by Sunday

The collision came as Miami International Airport was still working through delays and cancellations from Friday's rare nationwide ground stop ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Friday night that flight operations would be slow to return to normal as airlines repositioned aircraft and crews, while FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said on Saturday that the U.S. air travel schedule should be back to normal by the end of Sunday. Federal officials said the outage was linked to ageing air traffic control technology, including switches and routers overloaded with data, creating inconsistencies in radar and communications systems.
