JetBlue Plane Rolls onto Grass at Boston Airport, Pilot Reportedly ‘Lost’ Steering

A JetBlue flight rolled off the runway onto grass at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday, June 12.

According to WCVB Channel 5 Boston, the flight was landing in Boston after departing Chicago O’Hare International Airport at 8:41 a.m. when the aircraft slid onto the grass.

In footage shared by the outlet, skid marks could be seen on the runway while the plane sat in a grassy area alongside it.

Passengers told the outlet that the pilot announced that they had “lost all steering.” Another described that revelation as “very alarming.”

Many people thanked the “fabulous” pilot for her quick response and said that they weren’t aware anything was wrong until they started skidding.

“Everyone seemed calm and trusting that we were gonna make it,” one passenger said.

“Upon landing, JetBlue flight 312 rolled into the grass area off runway 33-L. There are no injuries,” a representative confirmed in a statement. “ The runway is closed at this time as the aircraft is assessed and passengers are bussed to the terminal.”
