For the second time in less than a week, a drone has been spotted [flying over Logan International Airport](https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2019/10/21/drone-spotted-near-boston-logan-international-airport-again/4056902002/). In both cases, authorities reported the drone was flying at altitudes much higher than legally allowed.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the crew of a JetBlue flight on approach to Logan saw the drone just before 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 20, 2019, about two miles southeast of the airport. A state police spokesman said the drone was spotted at about 3,500 feet, higher than legally allowed.

On October 14, 2019, The Federal Aviation Administration says the Boutique Airlines Pilatus PC-12 reported seeing "an unmanned aircraft" at about 2,800 feet just 4.6 miles northeast of the airport just before 3 p.m. The crew aboard the plane reported seeing the drone off its right-wing.

Last November, The FAA and Massachusetts State Police [investigated a drone incident](https://www.airsight.com/news/drones-are-disrupting-airspace-and-flights-near-airports) after a Delta flight crew member reported seeing a drone about 15 miles from Logan International Airport.

**Airports and Airspace Security Solutions**

Reports of drones disrupting airspace are becoming more common. We have witnessed drones disrupt airport operations for as much as 33 hours, as in the case at [Gatwick Airport](https://www.airsight.com/blog/airport-security-gatwick-shows-u.s.-airport-vulnerability-to-drones-threats). Drones not only disrupt flights and activities, but they could also lead to a dangerous near collision with an aircraft putting planes, pilots, and passengers in danger.

Airport personnel and transportation security officials can have a hard time predicting UAS flight paths and locating UAS pilots without drone detection technology. Drone detection can give airports real-time information to make informed decisions on safety and operations.
