Numerous Flights Cancelled in Boston as Hurricane Matthew Bears Down on Florida

BOSTON, MA — Hurricane Matthew's current trajectory is predicted to miss Boston, but it's still racking up a whole host of complications for travelers trying to pass through our airport, from those flying with JetBlue to American Airlines.

As of 2:30 p.m., FlightAware reports 20 trips have been cancelled from Logan International Airport to a host of southern destinations: Charleston, Savannah, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and Palm Beach. Impacted airlines so far include Jet Blue, Spirit and American Airlines, according to the flight-tracking site.

Logan Airport has recommended that anyone traveling south Thursday or Friday check with their airline to confirm their flight status.

The storm is expected to regain Category 4 status as it makes landfall in Florida. Matthew is predicted to send hurricane-force winds up to 45 miles inland and tropical storm-force winds extended out up to 175 miles.

According to FOX 25, some of the final flights to leave South Florida before the storm strikes just touched down at Logan.
