One of the most hectic travel weeks of the year has sure been busy at Boston Logan International Airport.

A plane reportedly hit another aircraft while at a Boston Logan gate on Monday, according to officials.

“While under tow, an American Airlines aircraft struck the wingtip of a Frontier Airlines aircraft that was parked at the gate at Boston Logan International Airport around 12 p.m. local time on Monday, Nov. 25,” the FAA said in a statement.

The American aircraft was a Boeing 777, and the Frontier aircraft was an Airbus A321.

“The incident occurred in an area that’s not under air traffic control,” the FAA added. “The FAA will investigate.”

No injuries were reported.

“Planes are being deboarded, and need to be checked for damage,” a Massport spokesperson said in a statement.

A Frontier Airlines spokesperson said in a statement, “This morning, an American Airlines aircraft made contact with a Frontier Airlines aircraft while the Frontier Airlines aircraft was parked and awaiting pushback at Boston Logan International Airport.”
