Probably not serious enough to discuss. Planes clip random things – and each other – while taxiing at airports all the time.
It is actually far from being that common.

No, it’s quite common. Planes collide on the ground all the time, at airports all over the world. Normally minor “oops” in ground handling, by the pilots but also can be pushers and such who are ferrying around airplanes. Runway entrance and exits are particularly hazardous and are marked that way.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not only you need major mistakes by multiple people and systems for two planes to touch while taxing, but two planes colliding even in an apparently minor way is enough to ground the planes for controls.

What happens after, does the plane still fly? Are planes engineered to withstand this?

Really? That's absolute madness. Any more info?

You need to provide data behind this claim. Not only you need major mistakes by multiple people and systems for two planes to touch while taxing, but two planes colliding even in an apparently minor way is enough to ground the planes for controls.

By my reading, of the 8 incidents reported in the last 10 days for Airbus and Boeing aircraft, 7 were collisions with birds and one was:
> AIRCRAFT LANDED AND POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED DAMAGE TO RIGHT LANDING GEAR AND FLAPS, HOUSTON, TX.
Nothing about two planes colliding on a runway.
