Boston Logan reports 152 delays today

Boston Logan International Airport was reporting delays on Thursday as weather and air-traffic constraints affected flights in and out of Boston. The Federal Aviation Administration said in its daily air traffic report for May 14, 2026, that wind, low clouds and mist could slow traffic in Boston, along with airports in the New York area and Las Vegas. Massport’s Logan flight-status page showed a mix of delayed and on-time flights across multiple carriers during the day, while the FAA’s airport-status page said Boston was experiencing general departure delays of 15 minutes or less. ### How bad were the delays at Logan on Thursday? Boston Logan’s publicly available flight-status page showed delayed arrivals and departures across terminals on Thursday afternoon, including an Etihad arrival from Abu Dhabi that was listed as delayed. The page also showed many flights on Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and other carriers operating on time, indicating uneven disruption rather than a full airport stoppage. (faa.gov) FlightAware’s Logan airport page identified BOS as an active airport-status location on Thursday, though the search snippets available did not independently confirm the specific count of 152 delays and one cancellation cited in travel-industry coverage. Because FlightAware’s cancellation and airport-delay pages did not surface a verified public tally in the available results, that figure could not be independently confirmed from primary sources reviewed here. (massport.com) ### What did the FAA say was causing the slowdown? The FAA said on Thursday that “wind, low clouds and mist” could slow air traffic in Boston. The agency’s National Airspace System dashboard also listed a possible ground stop or delay program for BOS after 1700, alongside similar possible measures for New York-area airports and San Francisco later in the day. The FAA’s airport-status page for Logan said general departure traffic was seeing gate-hold and taxi delays lasting 15 minutes or less, and it said no destination-specific delays were being reported at the time of the listing. (flightaware.com) That status page described airport-wide conditions rather than the status of any individual flight. ### Were Boston’s problems part of a wider U.S. disruption? The FAA’s daily report named Boston, New York-area airports and Las Vegas as places where weather could slow traffic on Thursday, and it separately cited rain risks in Philadelphia and Washington and low clouds in Seattle. (faa.gov) The National Airspace System dashboard also flagged possible delay programs for San Francisco and New York airports later in the day. (fly.faa.gov) Those federal notices support the broad picture of a multi-airport traffic-management day, but the specific nationwide totals of 2,157 delays and 48 cancellations cited in the preliminary travel report were not independently verified from the primary sources reviewed. The FAA pages examined focus on operational constraints and advisories, not a consolidated national count of delayed and canceled commercial flights. (faa.gov) ### Which airlines appeared in Logan’s disrupted schedule? Massport’s Logan tracker showed flights operated by Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Cape Air and Etihad Airways in Thursday’s schedule snapshot. The FAA’s weather and traffic notices applied to airport operations rather than singling out any one airline. American Airlines was named in the preliminary travel report, but the primary-source pages reviewed for this article did not provide an airline-by-airline breakdown of delayed Boston flights. (faa.gov) Individual flight pages on FlightAware showed some Boston-linked flights operating on time, underscoring that disruptions were selective and changed through the day. ### Where should travelers look next? Massport said passengers and people meeting arriving travelers should check flight status before heading to Boston Logan. (massport.com) The airport’s official tracker provides airline, gate and baggage details for arrivals and departures and updates throughout the day. The FAA’s National Airspace System dashboard and daily air traffic report were both active on May 14, 2026, and listed Boston among airports facing weather-related constraints. (flightaware.com) Travelers with Thursday itineraries can monitor those federal advisories alongside airline-specific alerts as conditions evolve through the evening. (faa.gov) (massport.com)
