This Thanksgiving is predicted to be the busiest ever for business airways, in keeping with the beloved vacation package deal fondlers on the Transportation Safety Administration. It’s the time of 12 months when persons are prepared to commit crimes to make sure their flights go away on time. That wasn’t the case at Boston Logan Worldwide Airport the place there have been two separate plane collisions on Monday. Nobody was injured however the pair of incidents doesn’t put the ability’s floor crew in an excellent gentle.
First, an American Airways Boeing 777 being towed right into a gate hit the wingtip of a parked Frontier Airways Airbus A321. American Airways Flight 109 was coming in from London after a transatlantic crossing, the Boston Herald reported. Frontier Flight 3601 was scheduled to fly to Dallas Fort Value. Frontier provided its 200 passengers onboard the struck aircraft a $100 future journey credit score and the choice to rebook or obtain a full refund.
Later that day, a tug towing an empty JetBlue Airbus A321 collided with the again of a Cape Air Tecnam P2012 ready to park at a gate. There have been three passengers on the 11-seater turboprop aircraft that simply landed at Logan Airport from Nantucket, WCVB reported. The Cape Air flight’s two pilots have been taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure. The JetBlue aircraft was slated to function a service to Orlando and passengers have been compelled to attend three hours for a alternative aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration is now investigating each incidents.
This isn’t the primary time that two planes collided at Logan Airport. Two United Airways planes collided on the tarmac in March 2023 whereas one plane was being pushed again from a gate. There have been much more severe shut calls on the runways with air visitors management issuing “go-around” orders on two separate events to stop doubtlessly lethal crashes. I’d reasonably be on a dozen delayed flights than probability a near-miss on a runway.
