Two people are injured in the second plane collision in a day at Boston’s Logan International Airport – Boston 25 News

BOSTON – For the second time in one day, a plane collided at Logan International Airport in Boston.

“A tug towing an empty JetBlue aircraft struck the tail of a Cape Air aircraft at low speed,” Massport officials confirmed to Boston 25 News.

“The tug has been decommissioned and the JetBlue aircraft is undergoing a thorough inspection,” a JetBlue spokesperson confirmed. “Safety is JetBlue’s top priority and we will investigate this incident,” the spokesperson continued.

According to a Cape Air spokesperson, three passengers and two crew members were on the Cape Air flight at the time of the collision.

No one on the Cape Air flight reported injuries, according to a company spokesperson, although a Massport official confirmed to Boston 25 News that both pilots on the flight were taken to an area hospital as a precaution.

According to JetBlue, no JetBlue crew members were injured in this incident.

This is the second similar incident in Logan on Monday. Earlier in the day there was a collision between two aircraft.

The FAA is investigating after an American Airlines Boeing 777 bound for Heathrow Airport in London was being towed when it struck the wingtip of a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 parked at the gate, according to the FAA.

No injuries were reported in the earlier incident.

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the Cape Air flight was hit by a towed JetBlue plane. This article has been updated to reflect that it was the JetBlue tug that hit the Cape Air flight.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
