Flights at Logan Airport in Boston impacted by nationwide ground stop

Flights at Logan Airport in Boston are being impacted by a nationwide ground stop issued by the FAA on Friday afternoon. Video from WBZ-TV's SkyEye shows several planes lined up on taxiways and runways.

The FAA and White House said the issue appeared to be caused by a "telecommunication outage."  

"We are monitoring the situation and working with the FAA and our airline partners," Logan Airport operator Massport said in a statement. "Passengers should check with their airlines for the latest flight updates." 

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said the rare ground stop for all U.S. airports is due to a communication issue that is being investigated by FAA technicians. 

According to FlightAware, there have been 382 total delays and 205 cancellations at Logan Airport as of 6:30 p.m.  

Some international flights have taken off from Logan Airport. A WBZ-TV photographer's flight to Germany to cover the New England Patriots game took off at about 5 p.m. after an hour delay.

"I've been briefed on the FAA's nationwide ground stop and am in touch with Massport about what it means for people flying in and out of Massachusetts," Gov. Maura Healey said in a statement. "We're working to get answers from federal officials and will share updates as soon as we have more information."
