Two Plane Collisions Reported in One Day at Boston Logan Airport

Incidents involving American, Frontier, JetBlue, and Cape Air planes disrupt Thanksgiving travel at one of the nation's busiest airports.

  • An American Airlines Boeing 777 clipped the wingtip of a parked Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 at Logan Airport around noon on Monday.
  • The American Airlines flight had just arrived from London, while the Frontier plane was preparing to depart for Dallas with 200 passengers on board.
  • No injuries were reported in the first collision, but the Frontier flight was canceled, and passengers were offered rebooking options or refunds along with travel credits.
  • Later the same day, a JetBlue Airbus A321 under tow struck the rear of a Cape Air plane that had just landed from Nantucket, resulting in two Cape Air pilots being taken to the hospital as a precaution.
  • The FAA is investigating both incidents, which occurred during a record-breaking Thanksgiving travel period with millions of Americans on the move.
