Collision Incident Involving Two Planes Reported at Boston Airport

Officials from Boston Logan International Airport revealed that a United Airlines plane collided with a parked Delta Air Lines aircraft over the weekend.

According to the New York Post, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the incident occurred at the Boston airport around 7:20 p.m. local time on Friday.

United Flight 369 (a Boeing 737) was taxing to a holding pad when it clipped the tail of Delta Flight 1657 (an Airbus A321).

There were no injuries reported in the collision, and a United spokesperson has all impacted passengers “deplaned normally at the gate” and rebooked on other flights.

Several flights temporarily delayed takeoff, and others were forced to circle around as airport police and emergency services arrived on the scene. When the incident occurred, Twitter user Kathleen Dunn was arriving on a JetBlue flight from San Juan.

Another video was shared by a passenger on the United plane, Rick Fredrickson.

Both carriers involved in the collision released statements:

“On Friday evening, the winglet of a United aircraft clipped the tail of another aircraft at Boston Logan International Airport,” a United spokesperson said. “Customers on the United aircraft deplaned normally at the gate, and we will rebook them onto other flights.”

“While there are no reported injuries to our customers or crew on Delta flight 1657, the aircraft came into contact with another aircraft while awaiting takeoff clearance on the Logan airfield,” a Delta spokesperson said. “Delta teams are working to get customers to their final destinations tonight, and we apologize for the delay.”
