At Logan International Airport in Boston, Frontier planes accidentally clip their wings.
An American Airlines flight arrived at Logan from London while a Frontier flight was en route to Dallas.
An inquiry is being conducted following the collision of two American Airlines and Frontier Airlines planes on the tarmac at Logan International Airport in Boston on Monday.
An American Airlines Boeing 777 struck the wingtip of a Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 parked at the gate, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
American Airlines flight 109, which was arriving at Boston (BOS) from LHR, collided with a parked aircraft while entering its gate.
Customers deplaned the aircraft shortly after the airline announced that there were no reported injuries.
Our maintenance team has taken the aircraft out of service for inspection. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to our customers.

The FAA stated that the incident occurred "outside of air traffic control," yet the agency is currently conducting an investigation.
A spokesperson for Boston Logan International Airport said this was a minor incident.
Both planes were deboarded and required damage checks at the airport.
Frontier Airlines will offer a $100 future travel credit and the option to rebook or receive a full refund to all impacted customers, according to a statement from a spokesperson to Planet Chronicle Digital.
Frontier announced that those who have opted to rebook with them can request a hotel voucher and will also receive meal vouchers.
This week, millions of people are expected to travel across the U.S. for Thanksgiving, and this incident occurs during that time.
This Thanksgiving, approximately 80 million individuals are predicted to journey 50 miles or more, with the peak travel days occurring on the Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the holiday and the Sunday following, as stated by AAA.
In 2024, air travel is predicted to surpass previous records, with an estimated 5.84 million individuals traveling through airports nationwide.
The Transportation Security Administration is also preparing for the possibility of the busiest Thanksgiving travel period on record.
"According to Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, in a news release, Thanksgiving is the busiest holiday for travel, and this year is expected to set new records across the board, including driving, flying, and cruising. Americans reconnect with family and friends over Thanksgiving, and travel is a significant part of that reunion."
