Two planes operated by American Airlines and Frontier Airlines clipped wings on the tarmac at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. According to USA Today, the incident occurred on Monday and no injuries have been reported. As many as 200 passengers were on board the Frontier Airlines aircraft when an American Airlines plane arrived in Boston from London’s Heathrow Airport and made contact with it. “The aircraft has been removed from service for inspection by our maintenance team. We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this caused,” American Airlines said in a statement. The now-viral video captures the damaged wing of the Frontier Airlines plane, which prevented any movement of the aircraft. Sharing the video, an X handle @rawalerts wrote, “ No injuries were reported from the collision, which occurred at a Terminal E gate while passengers were on board. According to a Massport spokesperson, the wingtips of both planes made contact. The jets are being inspected for damage, and Massport stated that "most likely those planes will not fly." Both planes were deboarded for further inspection, and the Frontier flight was canceled.” Watch here: 🚨#BREAKING: Emergency crews are on the scene after two planes clipped wingtips on the tarmac 📌#Boston | #Massachusetts Emergency crews are currently on the scene at Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, after two planes operated by American Airlines and Frontier Airlines… pic.twitter.com/JZPyMV1soe — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) November 25, 2024 The video ignited numerous reactions with a user commenting, “Better on the ground then in the air.” Another user wrote, “I once was on a plane on the tarmac at Logan and something backed into us.
