Overview
- The FAA issued an airport-wide ground stop after a fueling distribution problem struck Logan on Sunday night, and Massport said normal departures resumed just before midnight when fuel flow was restored.
- The outage left some planes on tarmacs for hours, forced thousands of travelers into long rebooking lines and led to manual refueling that slowed operations.
- Operational counts varied by report but coverage cited roughly 370 delayed flights and nearly 100 cancellations linked to the disruption, with residual delays still showing the next morning.
- Massport identified BOSfuel as the supplier involved; BOSfuel later said a low fuel pressure event triggered an automatic shutdown, fuel flow restarted by about 10 p.m., and the technical problem was addressed.
- The incident echoes a 2024 Logan fuel-farm outage and raises new questions about the resilience of the airport’s single fuel-distribution system and what steps regulators and airlines will take next.
