JetBlue flights resumed at Logan International Airport near Boston, Mass. Tuesday morning, after the airline enacted cancellations on most service in the northeast for 17 hours.
JetBlue Airways started picking back up at around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, after canceling departing flights at four airports in Boston and around New York Monday night, after a weekend of heavy snow threatened airplane mechanics. Additionally, the Boston Globe reported, new pilot regulations were also put in place on Saturday and Sunday, thus further disrupting service.
More than 75,000 passengers' flights have been cancelled since Saturday. On Tuesday, JetBlue tacked on an additional 19 flights to help grounded travelers get to their destinations.
JetBlue spokesperson Anders Lindstrom was hopeful that the airline would be back to full operation by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, but didn't give a specific time when all passengers would be able to fly.
"The weather forecast seems to be on our side today," Lindstrom told the Globe.
Still, some travelers who were due to fly out of Boston at the beginning of the week won't be able to leave until next Monday, or later.
Since Jan. 2, at least 1,300 arriving and departing flights at Logan Airport have been canceled due to harsh weather, blowing snow and reduced visibility in the northeast and Midwestern United States.
