BOSTON (WHDH) - A fueling problem at Boston Logan Airport prompted a temporary ground stop Friday morning and left residual delays into the early afternoon.
A message on the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center first announced the ground stop near 10:40 a.m.
Contacted shortly before 12 p.m., Massport spokesperson Jennifer Mehigan said the airport’s fuel system needed to be restarted. Mehigan said the system was down for less than one hour.
Massport on its website listed a handful of delays for departing and arriving flight as of around 12 p.m.
Though Mehigan said there could be residual delays due to the ground stop, they were not expected to last long.
In addition to ground stop delays, the FAA was already noting separate delays at Logan on Friday due to a low cloud ceiling in the area as wet weather moved through the region.
