A JetBlue plane being towed hits another plane at Boston Logan Airport

U.S. Department of Transportation officials are investigating after federal authorities said a JetBlue plane in tow collided with the tail of a Cape Air plane at Boston Logan International Airport on Monday evening.

The incident was the second incident at the airport involving two commercial aircraft on the same day.

According to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight routes, the Cape Air plane took off from Nantucket Memorial Airport in Massachusetts at 5:35 p.m. and landed in Boston at 6:14 p.m.

The impact occurred around 6:15 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told USA TODAY Tuesday morning.

“A JetBlue Airbus A321 in tow struck the tail of Cape Air Flight 617, a Tecnam P2012,” Rick Breitenfeldt, an FAA spokesman, told USA TODAY.

At the time of the crash, the Cape Air plane was waiting to park at an airport, the FAA spokesman said.
