JetBlue flight skids off runway in Boston; No injuries reported
Flight operations at Boston Logan International Airport were disrupted for hours on Thursday after a JetBlue aircraft veered off the runway during landing. The incident occurred just before noon when JetBlue Flight 312, an Airbus A220-300 arriving from Chicago, skidded off runway 33-L and came to a halt on an unpaved area, according to 7 News. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. 'All crew and customers are safe,' confirmed Tyesha Best, president of the Transport Workers Union of America Local 579, in a statement to CNN. 'We remain in contact with the company to provide all needed support for those affected.' A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) said all passengers were safely transported to a nearby terminal using mobile stairs, and the runway was immediately closed for assessment. 'The runway is closed at this time as the aircraft is assessed and passengers are bussed to the terminal,' the agency said in a statement. JetBlue issued its own response, stressing its commitment to safety: '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,' the airline told the New York Times. The aircraft, registered as N3242J, is currently under examination for mechanical issues, although the cause of the incident remains unknown. A video of the landing, shared by aviation account @fl360aero on Instagram, shows the moment the plane slid off the runway. The caption reads, 'JetBlue Flight 312 operated by an Airbus A220 plane, registered as N3242J, skids off the runway 33-L and comes to a rest on an unpaved area upon landing in Boston. Massport says the runway remains closed to assess the incident. A ground stop on all flights was in effect Thursday afternoon.' The clip has since gone viral, drawing over 14.8K views. A post shared by FL360aero (@fl360aero) The users were kind of stunned by the incident, one user commented, 'No weather or rain, how TF you run off the runway?' Another user commented, 'WTH?? 33L is the longest runway at BOS' In a devastating turn of events, the same day, an Air India flight bound for London's Gatwick airport crashed into a residential area near Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff. The aircraft was carrying mostly Indian nationals, along with 53 British, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian citizen. Tragically, the crash claimed the lives of nearly all onboard, including former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, 68, who was on his way to visit his daughter in London. Only one survivor has been confirmed so far. The plane went down in the Meghaninagar area, crashing into the hostel building of B J Medical College. At least 24 people on the ground, including four medical students, were also killed. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause of the crash.
