Two planes operated by American Airlines and Frontier Airlines clipped wings on the tarmac at Logan Airport in Boston.

A spokesperson for Frontier said that the A321 with 200 people were onboard Flight 3601 heading to Dallas-Fort Worth at the time. There were no injuries reported from both the crew and passengers onboard, Frontier said.

American said Flight 109, A Boeing 777 had just arrived from London. The plane was removed from service for inspection, the airline said.

Passengers onboard the Frontier flight told CBS news that they felt the two planes hit each other, but did not know what happened. "It was terrible. It was very scary, all of a sudden - thump," Evelyn Pipione of North Hampton said. "It sounded like something fell from below."

"You bounce back and forth and then I looked out the window it was right out my side of the window and I saw that the wing hit our wing," April O'Brien said.
