Boston Logan International Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella says one person is complaining of neck pain after a Delta Boeing 767 jet hit the other plane Thursday evening.
There were no other injuries.
Local TV footage show significant damage on both planes.
Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter says the wing from Delta Flight 266 from Boston to Amsterdam hit the vertical stabilizer of Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 4904, also on departure from Boston to Raleigh-Durham.
The Delta jet returned to the gate and ASA passengers were transported by bus to the terminal.
Atlanta-based Delta says both aircraft have been removed from service for inspections. Passengers are being put on other planes.
