Two planes clipped wings at Boston’s Logan International Airport around noon on Monday, officials said.
An arriving American Airlines jet made contact with the wingtip of a Frontier Airlines plane waiting at its gate, spokespeople for both airlines confirmed to the Globe.
No injuries were reported on either aircraft, and passengers were able to deplane normally, officials said.
“The aircraft has been removed from service for inspection by our maintenance team,” said a spokesperson for American Airlines. “We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this caused.”
The American plane, a transatlantic flight out of London’s Heathrow Airport, was pulling into its gate at Terminal E when it made contact with the Frontier plane, which was parked nearby.
Footage from WCVB-TV appears to show the Frontier plane’s winglet — the part of the wingtip that curves upward — underneath the wing of the larger American plane, a Boeing 777.
There were 200 passengers on board the Frontier flight, an Airbus A321 with service to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a Frontier spokesperson said. The flight, initially scheduled to depart at 11:35 a.m., was ultimately cancelled, according to flight tracker service Flightview.
Officials said that both planes would grounded for the time being, while staff assess the damage.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it will investigate the incident.
It’s not the first time this year that two planes made contact while on the tarmac at Logan; a wing-clipping in February caused the cancellation of two JetBlue Airways flights. The FAA has investigated at least five similar incidents across the country since March, according to the agency’s incident log.
