Boston Logan Fuel Issue Leaves 109 Flights Delayed or Canceled as Operations Slowly Recover

Summary
56 delays and 53 cancellations were still posted at Boston Logan on Monday morning after a fueling-system failure triggered a ground stop and stranded some travelers overnight.
Massport said the disruption stemmed from a problem in the airport's fuel system; passengers were told air got into the delivery line and engineers had to fix it.
Delta terminal travelers described planes sitting on the tarmac for hours before flights were canceled, forcing many passengers to stay an extra night in Boston.
BOSFuel, which manages Logan's jet-fuel operations, has not publicly detailed the exact cause, and airport officials told Monday travelers to check directly with their airlines.
