This incident – which is described as ‘rare’ – happened before 7 o’clock this morning. 

It involved two Ryanair jets – one heading for Edinburgh, Scotland – the other for Charleoi in Belgium.

Both of the Boeing 737 planes suffered minor damage – with photos on Twitter showing a piece of one wing caught on the tail fin of the other plane.

No one on board either flight was injured – while Ryanair says both jets were being guided by Air Traffic Control at the time.

The Air Accident Investigation Unit has now launched a formal inquiry into the matter. 

Dublin Airport has said all delays earlier today – of up to 2 hours – have since been cleared and full service has resumed.

Passengers on the two planes involved will be boarding alternative flights across the day.
