“A fellow traveler mentioned, ‘Everybody was moving ahead when abruptly, everything came to a halt,’” he stated. “‘We were fine; nobody got injured. However, it was quite frightening.’”
The FAA stated that delays lasting as long as two hours occurred due to the Logan situation.
JetBlue stated in an official announcement that the travelers managed to exit the aircraft without incident and were subsequently transported to the terminal via bus. The company mentioned that a comprehensive inquiry has been initiated.
A staff member at the Manchester airport mentioned that it’s not uncommon for flights coming from Boston to get redirected here; however, these diversions usually stem from adverse weather conditions.
