Officials say United Express Flight 4080 was preparing to take off with 48 people on board just before noon.
The Richmond, Virginia-bound flight was pulling away from the gate at a slow speed when it came into contact with a catering truck.
Authorities said the woman in the truck was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
No passengers were injured and all deplaned as normal. United Airlines is using a different aircraft to complete the flight.
The FAA said in a statement it is investigating the incident.
