It happened at approximately 9:15 p.m., the airport said. 

The wingtip of a Copa Airlines Boeing 737, which was taxiing to the gate, struck the nose of a UPS Boeing 767, which was taxiing for departure to Bogota, Colombia, according to a statement from the FAA.

Air traffic controllers had told the UPS crew to give way to the Copa flight, the FAA said. 

The FAA is investigating the incident. 

One pilot is heard on air traffic controller audio saying, "Somebody hit us." 

Photos showed damage to the nose of one of the planes. 

The airport said flights were being directed to other taxiways, so there was no impact to airport operations. 

"We are aware of an incident involving one of our aircraft on the ground in Miami," UPS said in a statement. "Our crew is safe, and we are committed to working with authorities to determine what happened. The safety of our employees and the public is our highest priority."
