JetBlue flight rolls off runway at Boston’s Logan Airport upon arrival from Chicago

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 just before noon. 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 deplaned via stairs and 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. 

“Safety is JetBlue’s top priority. We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause,” a JetBlue spokesperson 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.
