A JetBlue plane went off the runway and fell onto the grass during landing at Logan International Airport in Boston this Thursday, with no injuries reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States reported that flight 312 of JetBlue, arriving from Chicago, veered off the runway and rolled onto the grass while landing just before noon. No one was injured, stated Massport (Massachusetts Port Authority).
Emergency teams arrived immediately at the scene, and the passengers were transported by bus to the terminal.
A JetBlue spokesman told NBC10 Boston that all passengers on the aircraft disembarked safely.
"Safety is JetBlue's top priority. We will conduct a thorough investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause," said the airline's spokesperson in an email.
In a preliminary report on the incident, the channel reported that runway 33-L was closed while authorities investigate. The FAA indicated that airport operations would be halted until 1 p.m. (local time).
During 2025, multiple aviation accidents have been reported in the U.S., many of them resulting in fatalities.
In the most recent incident, which occurred on Sunday, several injuries were reported when a plane carrying 20 people, including a group of skydivers, crashed in Coffee County, Tennessee, at the moment it was taking off from Tullahoma Airport.
In late May, a private plane crashed in a neighborhood of San Diego, California, resulting in the deaths of several occupants. The impact caused fires that affected at least 15 homes and several vehicles, and forced the evacuation of nearly 100 residents from the area.
