No major FAA traffic programs are currently planned for BOS, as of the latest FAA Operations Plan. That is a plan, not a promise.

What this means

The FAA is reporting departure delays at BOS. Delays of this size usually show up on the departure boards.

Individual flights can still be delayed or cancelled when the airport looks fine. Check your airline for your actual flight.

Usually at this time

76%

of BOS departures left on time on a typical Monday, across 20,543 flights. Monday evening is one of BOS's rougher stretches historically.

Historical departure punctuality from U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, June 2025 – May 2026. This is a separate measurement from anything above: the FAA's delay figures describe traffic-management actions taken today, and averaging the two together would produce a number that means nothing. A ground stop is still a ground stop on an airport's best weekday.
