Airlines flying in and out of Logan International Airport are expected to return to full service today after more than 100 flights were canceled yesterday due to the lingering effects of the blizzard.
"All of our airlines should have full, regular schedules," Massport spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan said.
The storm that dumped 24.6 inches of snow completely shut down the airport Tuesday, and 109 flights out of Logan were canceled yesterday, according to flight tracking website flight-aware.com.
The canceled flights, however, were not because of bad weather yesterday, or even snow on the ground.
"Because we had so much snow here, a lot of the airlines took their craft away from Logan," Mehigan said, "so the aircraft have to come in before they begin their cycle."
The financial cost of even a storm this big is negligible for airlines, said Carter Leake, an aviation analyst and senior vice-president at BB&T Capital Markets.
"The guy who is supposed to fly on Wednesday flies on Thursday," he said. "A one-day event like this, with news coming (in advance), they had time to apply their optimized solution."
Mehigan said crews at Logan have been working nonstop to get snow off the tarmac — including using an industrial snow-melter.
Passengers lucky enough to have a flight to board yesterday said they were making the best of the situation.
Klancy Miller had a connecting flight canceled, so she had to wait out the storm in Boston before going home to Philadelphia, adding an unplanned extra day to her vacation.
"I literally just read magazines," she said. "It's been really relaxing."
