A strong storm is hitting the northeast of the U.S. It has strong winds and heavy rain. Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) has many flight cancelations. Airlines are changing their plans because of the storm.

On September 26, 2026, Boston had many problems. In a report just after 11 a.m., FlightAware showed 253 cancelations and 36 delays at Logan airport.

The storm is still here on Sunday, September 27. Delta Air Lines says it will cancel many flights at Boston Logan on Sunday. The weather is the reason. Delta is helping passengers change their flights.

Cape Air and Delta Have the Most Problems

Cape Air and Delta Air Lines have the most cancelations at Logan. On Saturday, Cape Air canceled 115 flights. Delta Air Lines canceled 95 flights. This information comes from FlightAware and The Boston Globe.

Cape Air also canceled all flights in its North Region. The storm is the reason. Passengers with flights from September 25 to 28 can change to a new flight. They can fly until October 2. They do not pay extra money for this.

Small Airports Have Problems Too

The storm is not only in Boston. On September 26, Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) had 66 cancelations. Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) had 44 cancelations. These two airports are important for Cape Air.

The storm is also hitting other airports. Airports in New York and Philadelphia have problems too. The number of cancelations is changing because airlines are updating their schedules.

Airlines Give Travel Waivers

Many airlines are helping passengers because of the storm. This help is called a travel waiver. Delta’s waiver is for eligible flights to, from, or through Boston from September 26 to 29. Eligible passengers can change their flights without a change fee. They must check the waiver's rules.

JetBlue also has a Northeast weather waiver. It is for flights from September 25 to 27. This waiver is for Boston and other airports. These airports are JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), Newark (EWR), Nantucket (ACK), Martha’s Vineyard (MVY), Providence (PVD), Worcester (ORH) and Hyannis (HYA).

American Airlines and United Airlines also have waivers. These waivers are for some Northeast airports and dates.

The waivers let passengers change their flights. But not every flight in the waiver is canceled.

The flight situation on Sunday, September 27 is still unclear. Delta says it will cancel many flights at Boston Logan. Airlines are still changing their schedules because the weather is changing too.
