JetBlue Plane Rolls Onto Grass After Landing at Boston Logan Airport
Hey everyone, let me bring you up to speed on something that’s been creating quite a buzz in the news—an unusual aviation incident that happened just recently at Boston Logan International Airport. We’re talking about a JetBlue flight that, quite unexpectedly, veered off the runway and ended up on the grass during landing.
Now, here’s what happened. On Thursday, JetBlue flight 312, arriving from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, touched down safely at Logan Airport but things took a slight detour—literally. As the Airbus A220 was turning off the runway just before noon, it rolled off the tarmac and onto a grassy area nearby. No one was hurt, which is the most important part of this story, but it definitely raised eyebrows and caught attention quickly.
This wasn’t some old aircraft either—the plane is relatively new, manufactured just last year in 2024. Passengers were safely deplaned using stairs and then transported to the terminal by bus. Airport officials at Massport and JetBlue both confirmed there were no injuries among passengers or crew, and everyone was in good condition.

JetBlue released a statement emphasizing that safety is their top priority and assured the public that a full investigation is underway. They’re working closely with the Federal Aviation Administration to figure out exactly what went wrong. The FAA had even issued a temporary ground stop at Logan following the incident, although that was lifted shortly after.
Tyesha Best, president of the Transport Workers Union of America Local 579, which represents JetBlue’s flight attendants, also spoke out, confirming that the union is monitoring the situation and offering support as needed. She reassured the public that all crew members and customers are doing well.
It’s worth noting that this unexpected off-runway incident led to the temporary closure of that particular runway, and caused a ripple effect—about 14% of departing flights experienced delays that afternoon, according to FlightAware.
So while the situation was under control and thankfully no one was hurt, this event does highlight how even with modern aircraft and advanced safety systems, aviation still comes with its share of surprises. And in this case, JetBlue and airport officials handled it swiftly and professionally.
Let’s stay tuned as the FAA wraps up its investigation—because figuring out the “why” here is essential to ensuring such incidents don’t repeat themselves.
