Two JetBlue planes collided Thursday morning on the tarmac at Boston Logan Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration will be investigating the incident that led to one Airbus A321neo making contact with another Airbus A321 at the tail and winglet. While both planes were damaged, there were no injuries. At the time, they were both in the process of being de-iced.
JetBlue flight 777 was slated for Las Vegas, Nevada, days before the Super Bowl takes place at Allegiant Stadium. JetBlue flight 551 was headed to Orlando, but both flights continued their route on different aircraft.
FAA officials are still investigating a collision between All Nippon Airways Boeing 777 and Delta Air Lines Boeing 717 at the Chicago O’Hare Airport last month.
This comes after JetBlue was ranked last out of the nine U.S. airlines by the Washington Street Journal for the third year in a row. Its ranking was determined by on-time arrivals, flight cancellations, extreme delays, baggage handling, tarmac delays, involuntary bumping, and complaints. Delta remained at the top of the list also for its third consecutive year.
