Two flights heading from Boston Logan International Airport made contact on Monday morning near the gate area, according to airport and federal aviation officials.
The right wing of United Airlines Flight 515 clipped the tail of of United Airlines Flight 267 while it was being towed in the vicinity of the parked 267 at about 8:30am, per the Federal Aviation Administration.
No injuries were reported and both planes were Boeing 737s.
Airport officials said that flight 515 was headed to Newark, while 267 was scheduled to fly to Denver.
The two planes were taken out of service, according to United Airlines.
“Customers on both aircraft deplaned normally and we’ve made arrangements to get them to their destinations on different aircraft,” United said.
An investigation is still ongoing regarding the incident.
This incident came a week after a JetBlue plane from Nashville landed at the same airort and had to make a last minute move to avoid crossing paths with a Learjet charter aircraft crossing an intersecting runway. This comes as archaic aviation technology cops scrutiny from industry experts, regulators and casual observers alike.
