‘No injuries have been reported at this time.

‘Buses transported customers from the aircraft to the terminal.’

Earlier on Monday, Logan Airport shut down its runways and grounded its flights due to heavy snow, which brought about poor visibility.

Winter Storm Ethan dumped at least three inches of snow on Boston, which saw its first White Christmas in 14 years.
