A JetBlue flight landing at Logan Airport in Boston from Chicago rolled off the runway and on to the grass Thursday morning. Airport officials said there were no reports of injuries.
The Airbus A220 arrived from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. A photo taken by a passenger on another plane showed multiple fire engines and emergency vehicles responding to the scene.
A Massport spokesperson said runway 33-L is closed while crews assess the plane. Passengers were being bused to the terminal.
“JetBlue Airways Flight 312 went into the grass while turning off the runway at Boston Logan International Airport around 11:55 a.m. local time on Thursday, June 12,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
Ground stop at Boston’s Logan Airport
The FAA said there was a ground stop for departures out of Logan Airport until about 2 p.m. “due to aircraft emergency.” There was a chance the ground stop could be extended beyond then, the FAA said.
Departures out of Boston are being delayed an average of 30 minutes or more because of the incident, the FAA said.
