It’s not the kind of body damage you can just buff out. Two JetBlue planes clipped each other at the de-icing pads at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday morning. Both aircraft were taken out of service, and passengers had to be reaccommodated.


“On Thursday, February 8, a JetBlue aircraft entering a de-icing pad lane at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) came into contact with another JetBlue aircraft on an adjacent de-icing pad lane, causing damage to one aircraft’s winglet and the other aircraft’s tail section,” Derek Dombrowski, a JetBlue spokesperson, said in a statement to USA TODAY. “No injuries were reported by customers or crewmembers on either aircraft.”


He added that the passengers from flight 777 to Las Vegas and 551 to Orlando will be flown on other planes, and the airline is investigating the incident. The Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday it will also be investigating the collision.
