What happened
Late September 2026, Boston Logan International Airport experienced a shortage of jet fuel that lasted more than two days during a rare nor’easter. Airlines responded by arranging tanker deliveries to replenish supplies. The supply issue coincided with the severe weather, further complicating operations.
Why travelers should care
The combination of low fuel availability and storm conditions led to widespread delays and cancellations at Logan. Even flights not originating at Boston were affected as airlines adjusted schedules and aircraft rotations in response to constrained fueling and disrupted airport operations.
Who was affected
Passengers with departures or arrivals at Boston Logan during the supply disruption were directly impacted. Connecting travelers and those booked on flights that use Boston as a crew or aircraft base may also have faced knock‑on delays or rebookings.
What to check next
If you have travel through Boston, check your airline’s flight status and the airport’s advisories before heading to the airport. Confirm rebooking, refund, and meal or hotel policies with your carrier if your trip was delayed or canceled. Travelers relying on tight connections should allow extra time or consider alternate routings.
Looking ahead
Officials and airlines will likely monitor both fuel supply lines and weather forecasts as operations normalize. Watch for updates from your airline and airport; the situation may continue to affect schedules until deliveries and staffing return to normal levels.
