Flight delays rise as Logan Airport rebuilds a runway
The number of delayed flights into and out of Logan International Airport has increased substantially in the past week after the airport shut one of its main runways for reconstruction.
Some passengers reported delays of one, two, or even three hours, particularly on in-bound flights to Logan.
Construction began May 15 on the 10,000-foot runway that runs northeast-to-southwest along Logan’s eastern shoreline and on busy days handles half of the flights at the airport.
The runway is being fully resurfaced for the first time in 10 years, and officials expect to mostly reopen it June 23, with the entire project being completed by November.
