After passengers scrambed to get out of Boston on Sunday night, there were nearly 1,000 cancellations at the airport Monday, according to tracking site FlightAware. Interim Massport CEO Ed Freni told WBZ-TV that crews have been able to keep one runway open at the airport, but there's no demand for it because of all the cancellations.

With "tons of snow out there," Freni said the goal is to get two runways open for Tuesday. And it could be another day before things get back to normal at the airport.
