BOSTON (TNND) — Two planes operated by American Airlines and Frontier Airlines clipped wings at Logan International Airport in Boston Monday.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported the incident happened around noon when an American Airlines Boeing 777 was being towed and hit the wingtip of a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 parked at the gate.
“The incident occurred in an area that’s not under air traffic control,” the FAA added.
Frontier Airlines said the aircraft was parked and awaiting pushback at the airport when the American Airlines plane “made contact with” the Frontier plane.
“The Frontier aircraft involved was an A321 preparing to depart on Flight 3601 from Boston to Dallas-Fort Worth. There were 200 passengers on board at the time of the incident,” Frontier said in a statement.
No injuries were reported among passengers or crew.
American Airlines told Fox News that while pulling into its gate at Boston (BOS), American Airlines flight 109 “made contact with a nearby parked aircraft.”
Customers were able to deplane the aircraft with no injuries.
A spokesperson for the airport said the incident was minor and “occurred at a slow rate of speed” adding the planes will need to be checked for damage.
The incident comes as nearly 80 million people are expected to travel across the U.S. for Thanksgiving.
AAA and the Transportation Security Administration both suggest the busiest time to fly and be on the road is Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Thanksgiving is the busiest holiday for travel, and this year we’re expecting to set new records across the board, from driving to flying and cruising,” said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel.
