Logan International Airport officials said on Friday afternoon that planes are taking off and landing at the Massport travel hub, but airlines are still cancelling hundreds of flights after Thursday evening's snowstorm.
The Boston Globe reported that at least 300 flights were cancelled at Logan on Friday, according to travel site Orbitz.
Director of Aviation for Massachusetts Port Authority Ed Freni said that the airport decided to follow through on 534 flights Thursday, in addition to keeping two runways open during the storm, which was dubbed "Hercules" by the Weather Channel.
By the time Friday afternoon rolled around, Logan was gearing up to receive a sweep of departing and arriving flights.
"All our runways are bare pavement," Freni told the Globe. "We're ready to go, anxious to get the planes back in here, get back to normalcy."
Logan officials suggested travelers contact airlines to check on flight status.
Meanwhile, Amtrak reported that the Acela Express and Northeast Regional service will be functioning between Boston and Washington, but with marked delays.
Peter Pan Bus Lines said that although they'd hoped to get back on the road by midday Friday, icy roads and reduced visibility forced them to keep services stopped. Some trips scheduled for Saturday have also been canceled.
As of Friday morning, FlightAware.com reported that at least 2,200 flights scheduled for Friday had been cancelled. A winter storm advisory was issued for the northeastern and Midwestern United States Friday morning that urged residents not to travel.
