In a recent incident at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), two aircraft, one operated by American Airlines and the other by Frontier Airlines, ended up clipping wings while on the tarmac. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) noted that the collision occurred at approximately 12:00 local time on November 25, 2024, in an area not under air traffic control. A Boeing 777 belonging to American Airlines made contact with the wingtip of a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 while being towed, causing a stir at the airport.

The American Airlines flight, identified as N772AN, had just arrived in Boston from London-Heathrow Airport (LHR), as per FlightAware data. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the passengers, and everyone was able to safely disembark from the aircraft following the incident. A video shared on Pilotcenter.net News captures the moment the two planes collided, showing what appears to be a hole in the wing of the American Airlines aircraft.

Passengers aboard the Frontier flight mentioned feeling the impact of the collision but were unsure of what had transpired. A Frontier Airlines spokesperson revealed that there were 200 passengers on the aircraft, while American Airlines informed that the plane involved was being taken out of service for inspection. The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), overseeing operations at BOS Airport, announced that inspections were being carried out on the planes for any damages, suggesting that they may not be ready for flight in the near future.

The FAA has initiated an investigation into the incident that occurred on November 25, 2024, at Boston Logan International Airport. Stay tuned for updates as the story unfolds.
