An American Airlines flight from New York to Spain was forced to divert to Boston’s Logan International Airport due to a cracked windshield Wednesday night, officials said.
Madrid-bound Flight 94 had departed New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport around 7:30 p.m. and an alert was issued around 9:45 p.m. due to the windshield issue, Massachusetts State Police said, according to NBC Boston.
The plane landed in Boston shortly after 10 p.m., according to FlightAware data.
American Airlines said the plane was diverted due to a “maintenance issue.” After landing safely, the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected.
The diverted customers were provided hotel accommodations overnight and will be placed on another flight to head to Madrid.
