Two Qantas Airways Ltd. jumbo jets will be grounded for days to fix wingtip damage caused when they clipped each other at Los Angeles International Airport.

The airline and Australian regulators are investigating the collision late on Feb. 27 between the Airbus Group NV A380, the world’s largest passenger plane, and a Boeing Co. 747-400 as the aircraft were being towed from a hangar, Sydney-based Qantas said yesterday.
