The 2005 Logan Airport runway incursion was a near runway collision that occurred at approximately 7:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 9, 2005 between US Airways Flight 1170 and Aer Lingus Flight 132 . EI132 was an Airbus A330-300 aircraft, owned and operated by the Irish airline Aer Lingus, destined for Shannon, Ireland, and carrying 12 crew members and 260 passengers. US1170 was a Boeing 737-300 aircraft owned by Wells Fargo Bank Northwest NA and operated by US Airways, destined for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and carrying 6 crew members and 103 passengers. The near collision took place on the runway at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport , in Boston, Massachusetts. In total 381 people were on board the two aircraft.
To reduce radio congestion and consequences resulting from pilot or controller error, airports with a large number of operations will typically split the tower controller into two or more positions. This was the case that evening when each of the incident flights were the responsibility of different controllers. The local control west controller was responsible for Aer Lingus Flight 132 and the local control east controller was responsible for US Airways flight 1170.
