Dozens of flights diverted to Boston’s Logan Airport, leaving passengers stranded – NBC Boston

Dozens of flights were diverted to Boston’s Logan Airport on Saturday night, forcing many passengers to find their final destination on their own.

According to MassPort, as many as 25 international flights and a few additional flights from New York, New Jersey and Washington DC were forced to land in Boston after thunderstorms swept through parts of the Northeast.

Logan Airport accepted the diverted flights but was unable to provide gate service, fuel or aircraft, according to an air traffic control advisory, leaving many planes crowding parts of the tarmac.

Some passengers told NBC 10 Boston they were stuck on the plane for up to six hours. Some said they had no food, no electricity and no access to bathrooms. With all the hotels in the area booked up, many people ended up sleeping at the airport.

According to MassPort, passengers were bused to the terminals and are working with their respective airlines to reach their destinations, but some passengers say they have had to figure out how to book their travel on their own.
