An aircraft has veered off the runway at Boston Logan Airport, leading to an emergency situation that temporarily suspended all flights at this major transportation center.
The incident promptly initiated a ground stop at the airport, as emergency responders hastened to assist the passengers on board.
Frightened onlookers shared images of the incident on social media platform X.
“We’re on the taxiway stopped at Logan Airport and looks like a commercial flight (maybe JetBlue?) landed on the grass,” one person wrote.
“Emergency vehicles raced to go meet the plane—hope everyone is OK!!”
It was later confirmed that the plane was landing at the airport when it barreled off the runway just before noon on Thursday.
“Upon landing, JetBlue flight 312 rolled into the grass area off runway 33-L,” the airport told The U.S. Sun.
“There are no injuries. The runway is closed at this time as the aircraft is assessed and passengers are bussed to the terminal.”
The Federal Aviation Administration said the Airbus A220 was turning off the runway when it went into the grass.
The plane left Chicago earlier on Thursday.
Dramatic images showed it surrounded by cops and fire rescue as passengers fled the aircraft.
The mishap led to a ground stop that was expected to last through at least 2 pm.
A total of 1,191 delays have been reported so far.
JetBlue didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
