Boston Logan airport says the FAA is permitting some transatlantic flights to depart, according to ABC7, which cites a post by the airport.
Fox News, citing Flightradar24, reports that a small number of international flights have left Boston Logan. It says they include an ITA Airways flight to Rome and a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. Fox News also reports that some flights were cleared to depart for overseas locations including Germany and Prague.
This adds to Flightradar24's earlier report that an Etihad flight from Boston to Abu Dhabi was en route. That report had no official backing at the time. The new account comes from the airport, not from the FAA directly.
It also supports the earlier indication that the position has moved on from the FAA's original advisory, which said all departing traffic was to remain ground stopped until further notice.
The easing is limited. Fox News reports that all domestic departures remain grounded and that a limited number of incoming flights continue to land. All of the departures named so far are from Boston Logan.
