Two LATAM Airbus aircraft damaged in collision at Sao Paulo

Two LATAM Airlines aircraft have sustained damage after being involved in a ground collision at Sao Paulo’s Congonhas Airport (CGH) in Brazil. The wingtip of one of the carrier’s A320neos was damaged in the incident while the other aircraft, an Airbus A319, saw impact damage to its tail cone structure. The collision reportedly occurred when the wingtip of the Airbus A320neo struck the tail of the A319 as the aircraft taxied past.  

The event occurred on December 3, 2025, as the A320neo registered PR-XBG was taxiing to depart as flight LA3064 bound for Curitiba (CWB). Meanwhile, the A319 registered PT-TMS was sitting at its parking stand while preparing to depart as flight LA3050 from Sao Paulo to Belo Horizonte Airport (CNF).       

Video footage of the incident appears to show the A320neo passing behind the parked A319 from left to right at low speed. Conditions at the airport appear to be wet with heavy rain and overcast skies over the airfield. As the A320neo passes to the rear of the A319, its right (starboard) wingtip impacts with the tail section of the second airplane, causing both aircraft to jolt. The A320neo slows as a result, while the A319 remains on its stand.
