Two JetBlue planes collided on the tarmac at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Thursday morning, disrupting the travel plans of all the passengers onboard.
Flight 777’s left winglet struck the right horizontal stabilizer of Flight 551 around 6:40 a.m. while on the deicing pad, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
No injuries were reported.
One passenger, Dave Souter, was headed to Las Vegas to work at an event for the Super Bowl when the incident happened after the aircraft pulled away from the gate, he told Boston 25 News.
The other plane was headed to Orlando, Fla.
“An eventful morning for us passengers, but really grateful for the in-flight JetBlue crew who patiently answered passengers’ questions and constantly provided updates to us on board,” Casey Cunningham shared on X.
“They are quickly getting a new plane for the passengers destined for Orlando.”
Both planes will be taken out of service for repairs, a JetBlue spokesperson told The Post.
“Safety is JetBlue’s priority, and we will work to determine how and why this incident occurred,” he added.
The Federal Aviation Administration is also investigating the incident.
