BOSTON - Logan Airport is preparing for a winter weather event beginning Sunday night, February 1^st and lasting until early Tuesday morning, February 3^rd. Crews will be working throughout the storm to keep the airfield open, unless conditions make snow removal operations unsafe. Airlines are canceling flights in advance of the storm and delays are likely.

Massport encourages passengers to contact their airline about flight status before heading to the airport. Passengers can also receive airport information at flylogan.com or up-to-date airport delay information at fly.faa.gov.

Most domestic and international airlines will have limited operations at Logan on Monday and into Tuesday, but passengers should check with their airline as many have announced they will wave ticket change fees. The airport does not cancel flights; that is a decision made by individual airlines.

Once the winter weather passes, airlines will begin re-accommodating passengers affected by cancellations and delays. This process could take time and passengers are encouraged to contact their airline before heading to the airport. In the event of excessive delays or diversions, Massport will work with airlines to provide passengers with cots.

Boston Logan is served by two public transit lines and is the Air Line Pilot Association’s Airport of the Year for 2008 because of its commitment to safety. Over the past decade, the airport spent $4.5 billion on a modernization program that includes new terminals, public transportation access, parking facilities, roadways and airport concessions, and has been transformed into a world-class 21st Century facility. The airport generates $8 billion in total economic impact each year.
