The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after two planes made contact on the tarmac at Logan Airport Monday morning.
The FAA said the incident happened outside Terminal B just before 8:30 a.m. when the wing of United Flight 515 leaving for Newark International Airport pushing back from its gate made contact with the tail of United Flight 267, which was parked at a neighboring gate.
The planes were later pulled apart so mechanics could be able to begin assess the damage left behind.
United Flight 515 returned to the gate and passengers on both planes were rebooked on other flights scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Speaking later in the day, passengers said the whole incident was somewhat jarring.
“It was just a pretty big shake,” passenger Martin Neusch told 7NEWS.
Nick Leone of Malden was a passenger on the plane headed to Newark. He said he felt a jolt but didn’t know his plane had hit anything until other passengers were looking out the window.
He said crews later made an announcement explaining the situation.
Despite the incident, Neusch said the whole situation was “not too bad.”
“Everything was fine,” he said.
United officials said no one was injured.
The incident remained under investigation as of Monday.
This incident came hours after a separate United flight on Sunday was disrupted when a passenger allegedly tried to open an emergency exit door roughly 45 minutes before the plane landed in Boston., according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. The U.S. Attorney said the man also tried to stab a flight attendant in the neck before being restrained.
