No one was injured after a JetBlue plane skidded off a runway and into the grass at Boston's Logan Airport Thursday morning, Massachusetts State Police confirmed.
The Federal Aviation Administration lifted a ground stop that was previously issued on all flights departing and arriving at Logan Airport. The runway, 33-L, has been closed as officials inspect the plane. All flight passengers have been bussed to the nearest terminal, a Massport spokesperson said.
Average delays at the airport have been reported of up to two hours due to the emergency, the FAA said. The plane, JetBlue flight 312, which left Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 8:41 a.m. Thursday was in the process of landing at Logan when the plane skidded off the runway.
JetBlue released a statement regarding the incident:
"On Thursday, June 12, JetBlue flight 312 from Chicago to Boston veered off the runway and onto the grass after landing. No injuries were reported," the airline's statement read. "Customers safely deplaned and were bussed to the terminal. 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 passenger who says she was on the plane when it slid into the grass said she knew something was amiss when the aircraft sharply turned.
