It later apologised for the fire training drill, saying it may have offended people.

In a statement, the airport said "Massport apologizes for conducting the fire training exercise and understands that it may have offended many of those touched by the events of Sept. 11".

"Safety and security is our top priority and constant vigilance and readiness is critical, but the exercise should not have taken place on the anniversary of 9/11".

"The airport community recognizes the day with moments of silence, a service in the chapel, and a wreath at the 9/11 memorial" he added.
