Passengers took to social media following the incident, with one saying the Delta plane "shook" as the other aircraft hit its tail.
"We were sitting on the tarmac at SeaTac and another plane ran into us, just casually sliced into our tail. Very scary," passenger Jackie wrote on X. "The plane shook. Loud. It was scary. Getting inspected now."
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport said it was working with both airlines to safely deplane passengers and bring them to the terminal.
"There is minimal impact to airport operations as this occurred on a taxi lane. Passengers are encouraged to check with their airlines if they are flying today," the airport said.
Delta Airlines said there were 142 people on board the plane, which was enroute to Puerto Vallarta from Seattle when the incident occurred.
"While in sequence for deicing, the tail of a Delta 737 aircraft reportedly made contact with a wing tip of another airline's aircraft. There are no reports of injuries for crew or customers on the flight, and we apologize for the experience and delay in travels," Delta said in a statement.
The incident is one of several plane accidents in the United States over the last week.
