Narrative:
Delta Air Lines flight DL263, an Airbus A330-941 (N421DX), was involved in a runway incursion incident at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) with Cape Air Flight 548, a Cessna 402 (N663AA).

Air traffic control instructed Flight 263 to perform a go-around as it was about to land on 04R, because Cape Air Flight 548 was cleared to takeoff from an intersecting runway (15R).
As the Cessna 402 was crossing runway 04R, the separation with the A330-900 was about 1000 m.
