BP's Olympic Pipeline partially restarted after a nearly two-week shutdown [View all]
EVERETT — BP’s Olympic Pipeline is pumping oil again after a leak east of Everett led to a nearly two-week shutdown of the system, causing airlines that rely on the jet fuel to scramble.
Following Monday’s testing, the pipeline was partially restarted Tuesday morning, a statement from BP said.
The system is now sending needed fuel to Sea–Tac, allowing airlines to resume normal operations after the stoppage caused flight disruptions.
“We have discontinued all planned fuel stops but will continue to tanker and truck in additional fuel on a reduced basis as the pipeline increases to normal capacity,” an Alaska Airlines statement posted on Tuesday said. “No other operational impacts are expected.”
