The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an incident today between two United Airlines planes at Boston Logan International Airport.
“As a tow tug was pushing it back from the gate at Boston Logan International Airport, the right wing of United Airlines Flight 515 struck the tail of United Airlines Flight 267 around 8:30 a.m. local time this morning,” the FAA statement said. “Both aircraft were Boeing 737s that were scheduled for departure,” the statement added. CNN has reached out to United Airlines and Massport for more information about the incident.
“While we were on the plane, it just clipped the wings, so the two wings clipped each other on the plane.” The station said passengers on both planes were rebooked on other flights set for Monday afternoon. Close-call incidents in 2023 The contact between two aircraft on Monday morning follows a string of five close-call incidents earlier this year, including one at Boston Logan last week.
