Boston Logan Lifts Ground Stop After Fueling Failure Delays 370 Flights

Summary
Massport lifted Boston Logan’s full ground stop just before midnight Sunday after resolving a problem in the airport-wide jet fuel delivery system.
The outage prevented planes from fueling for departure, leaving aircraft stuck at gates and causing at least 370 delays and 75 cancellations, according to FlightAware.
BOSFUEL—the airline consortium that runs Logan’s fuel operations—has not yet said what caused the failure, and Massport did not specify how many disruptions were directly tied to it.
The breakdown hit at the end of the Fourth of July holiday weekend, snarling return travel; one passenger arriving from Nashville said his plane sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes.
