Opened in 1923 and named after General Edward Lawrence Logan, a 20th-century soldier and politician native to Boston, Logan International Airport is the largest airport in both Massachusetts and the New England region, in terms of passenger volume and cargo handling, as well as the busiest airport in the Northeastern United States outside the New York metropolitan area. The airport saw 43.5 million passengers in 2024, the most in its history. It has non-stop service to destinations throughout the United States and the world. Logan is the northeastern hub for Cape Air and is the secondary transatlantic hub for Delta Air Lines, serving several destinations in Europe. It is also an operating base for JetBlue.{{cite web|url=http://s1.q4cdn.com/231238688/files/doc_presentations/2017/Delta-Air-Lines-Investor-Day_2017.pdf|title=Investor Brouchure|date=2017|website=s1.q4cdn.com|access-date=January 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171226182116/http://s1.q4cdn.com/231238688/files/doc_presentations/2017/Delta-Air-Lines-Investor-Day_2017.pdf|archive-date=December 26, 2017|url-status=live}}{{cite press release |url=http://investor.jetblue.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=131045&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1595211&highlight= |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711023342/http://investor.jetblue.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=131045&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1595211&highlight= |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 11, 2012 |title=JetBlue Airways – Press Releases |publisher=JetBlue |date=August 10, 2011 |access-date=November 25, 2011}} American Airlines and United Airlines also carry out significant operations from the airport, including daily transcontinental flights.

History

=Origins=

Logan Airport opened on September 8, 1923, and at that time it was mainly used by the Massachusetts Air National Guard and the United States Army Air Corps. At the time, it was referred to as "Boston Air Port" at Jeffries Point.{{Cite news |last=Philpott |first=A.

=Early postwar development=

During the 1940s and 1950s, due to the rise in demand for air travel, the airport added {{convert|1800|acre|sqmi km2 ha}} of landfill in Boston Harbor, taken from the former Governors, Noddle's and Apple Islands. During this time, the airport expanded the terminals, adding terminals B and C in 1949, which are still in use today. In 1943, the state of Massachusetts renamed the airport after Maj. Gen. Edward Lawrence Logan, a Spanish–American War officer from South Boston, a statue of whom by sculptor Joseph Coletti was unveiled and dedicated on May 20, 1956.{{cite news |last1=Maguire |first1=Paul J. |date=September 24, 2014 |title=Logan Airport: The early years |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/specials/insiders/2014/09/24/bgcom-archives-logan/Q3p9nPoYBa8Vbqrne3VeJO/story.html |department=Archives |work=Boston Globe |access-date=June 21, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170901153720/https://www.bostonglobe.com/specials/insiders/2014/09/24/bgcom-archives-logan/Q3p9nPoYBa8Vbqrne3VeJO/story.html |archive-date=September 1, 2017 |url-status=live }}{{cite book|title=The sculpture of Joseph Coletti|last=Coletti|first=Joseph|publisher=Macmillan|year=1968|page=165|editor=Alan Priest}} In 1952, Logan Airport became the first in the United States with an indirect rapid transit connection, with the opening of the Airport station on the Blue Line.{{Cite book |last=Cudahy |first=Brian J. |url=https://archive.org/details/changeatparkstre00cuda |title=Change at Park Street Under; the story of Boston's subways |publisher=S.

=Introduction of the jumbo jet and early international expansion=

The jumbo jet era began at Logan in the summer of 1970, when Pan Am started daily Boeing 747 service to London Heathrow. Until 2020, the Boeing 747-400 was scheduled on flights to Boston by British Airways.{{cite web|url=https://www.britishairways.com/en-us/information/about-ba/fleet-facts/boeing747-400|title=Boeing 747-400 - About BA - British Airways|website=Britishairways.com|access-date=August 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170813005638/https://www.britishairways.com/en-us/information/about-ba/fleet-facts/boeing747-400|archive-date=August 13, 2017|url-status=live}} Lufthansa operated Boeing 747s, including the latest-model Boeing 747-8, on its daily nonstop flights to Frankfurt.{{cite web |url=http://airlineroute.net/2015/02/05/lh-icnbos-may15update2/ |title=Lufthansa Delays A380 Seoul / Boeing 747-8I Boston Service Entry to mid-May 2015 |website=Airline Routes |date=February 5, 2015 |access-date=September 14, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150915011520/http://airlineroute.net/2015/02/05/lh-icnbos-may15update2/ |archive-date=September 15, 2015 |url-status=live }} In June of 2023, Lufthansa started daily flight to Munich on there a380-800.

Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) undertook the "Logan Modernization Project" from 1994 to 2006: a new parking garage, a new hotel, moving walkways, terminal expansions and improvements, and two-tiered roadways to separate arrival and departure traffic.

Massport's relationship with nearby communities has been strained since the mid-1960s,{{cite book |last=Nelkin |first=Dorothy |year=1974 |title=Jetport: The Boston Airport Controversy |publisher=Transaction Publishers |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OGyP64Vm7TcC |isbn=0-87855-591-9 |page=80}} when the agency took control of a parcel of residential land and popular fishing area near the northwest side of the airfield.

Outside of the park on Neptune Road, residents of the neighborhood, formerly, with its convenient park access, the "most prestigious street in East Boston," were bought out of their homes and forced to relocate. Public opposition came to a head when residents laid down in the streets to block bulldozers and supply trucks from reaching the construction zone.{{cite news |title=Their 2D Run at Runway |first=Christine |last=MacDonald |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BG&p_theme=bg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FF408367934CDD2&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |newspaper=The Boston Globe |date=November 30, 2003 |access-date=November 10, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609181737/http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BG&p_theme=bg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FF408367934CDD2&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |archive-date=June 9, 2011 |url-status=live }}

Terminal A features a Delta Sky Club on the third floor of the satellite building, and a second Sky Club at the site of the former Continental Airlines Presidents Club in the main terminal building.{{cite web|url=http://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/airport_information/delta_sky_club/sky_club_locations/index.jsp|title=Delta Sky Club Locations|publisher=Delta Air Lines|year=2010|access-date=October 12, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101103102350/http://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/airport_information/delta_sky_club/sky_club_locations/index.jsp|archive-date=November 3, 2010|url-status=live}}

The building is the first airport terminal in the United States to be LEED certified for environmentally friendly design by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Terminal B, designed by John Carl Warnecke & Associates and Desmond & Lord, Inc., first opened in 1974. Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American, Boutique Air, Southwest, Spirit, and United currently operate out of the terminal which has 41 gates.

Pier B was completed for US Airways in 1974 and Pier A for American in 1975. The terminal remained largely unchanged until US Airways expanded its operations at Logan in 1979, and improvements designed by HNTB were constructed in 1980. From 1980 until 2000, numerous small projects including passenger seating area improvements, concessions expansions and passenger lounges were completed at both piers.{{cite report|url=http://www.massport.com/environment/environmental_reporting/Documents/Environmental%20Filings/2012_EA_Terminal_B_CE_Complete.pdf |title=Environmental Assessment: Renovations and Improvements at Terminals B & C/E at Boston Logan International Airport |publisher=Massport |date=May 2012 |access-date=February 4, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130328095129/http://www.massport.com/environment/environmental_reporting/Documents/Environmental%20Filings/2012_EA_Terminal_B_CE_Complete.pdf |archive-date=March 28, 2013 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.massport.com/massport/Documents/Investor%20Relations%20Documents/Main%20Page/C_08_OS.pdf|title=Bonds, Series A and C Official Statement|year=2008|publisher=Massport|access-date=February 4, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130327221118/http://www.massport.com/massport/Documents/Investor%20Relations%20Documents/Main%20Page/C_08_OS.pdf|archive-date=March 27, 2013|df=mdy-all}} American's facilities were renovated in 1995 and redesigned by Gresham, Smith & Partners,{{cite web |title=Logan International (BOS)|url=http://gspnet.com/html.gsp?Project=81|publisher=Gresham, Smith & Partners|access-date=February 6, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110823035158/http://gspnet.com/html.gsp?Project=81|archive-date=August 23, 2011|url-status=dead}} and US Airways' facilities were renovated in 1998 and 2000, and redesigned by URS Corporation with Turner Construction serving as the construction manager.{{cite web|title=US Airways Terminal B Consolidation|url=http://www.turnerconstruction.com/experience/project/16ED/us-airways-terminal-b-consolidation|publisher=Turner Construction|access-date=February 6, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141029233600/http://www.turnerconstruction.com/experience/project/16ED/us-airways-terminal-b-consolidation|archive-date=October 29, 2014|url-status=live}}

Until 2014, Terminal B was split into north and south buildings, with a parking garage between the two buildings. Between 2012 and April 2014, Terminal B underwent a $160 million renovation.

The terminal, which has 27 gates, serves Aer Lingus, Cape Air, JetBlue as their operating base, with TAP Air Portugal only having departures take place out of the terminal. The airport's USO Lounge is located in the baggage claim area of Terminal C on the lower level. It offers most typical amenities as other markets as major as Greater Boston. Military ID is required for entry.

The former Terminal D gates (the three gates at the north end of Terminal C) were renumbered and labeled as part of Terminal C in February 2006.{{cite news|title=Attention Logan Passengers: Starting Wed.

Terminal E, also known as the John A. Volpe International Terminal named after the former Governor of Massachusetts and U.S. Secretary of Transportation, serves as the international terminal for Logan and therefore houses the majority of its international arrivals (excluding flights from an origin that has U.S. border preclearance). Also, most non-U.S. carriers excluding Aer Lingus, Air Canada, TAP Air Portugal, and WestJet depart from Terminal E. The terminal has a total of 18 gates, including two gates used for hard stand boarding and two flexible-use gates which can each accommodate either 2 narrow-body aircraft or a single wide-body aircraft. All gates within the terminal are designated as common-use, meaning gates are assigned mostly based on an operational need, and no specific airline claims ownership of any of those gates.{{cite web|url=http://massport.airportwayfinder.com|title=Boston Logan|publisher=Airport Wayfinder|year=2010|access-date=October 16, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007093311/http://massport.airportwayfinder.com/|archive-date=October 7, 2010|url-status=live}} All ticket counters and gates in Terminal E are shared among the international carriers.

== Runway 14/32 ==

Runway 14/32, which opened to air traffic on November 23, 2006, is unidirectional. Runway 32 is used for landings and 14 is used for takeoffs. Massport is barred by a court order from using the runway for overland landings or takeoffs, except in emergencies.{{cite web |url=http://www.massport.com/in-the-community/community-relations-and-government-affairs/ |title=Community Relations and Government Affairs |website=Massport |access-date=March 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315011520/http://massport.com/in-the-community/community-relations-and-government-affairs/ |archive-date=March 15, 2015 |url-status=dead }}

There was fierce opposition towards the construction of 14/32 among communities adjacent to the northwest side of the airport, such as Chelsea and East Boston, as authorities acknowledged these areas would likely see increased noise levels. Many Residents of Winthrop and Revere also joined in opposition,{{cite web|url=https://eastietimes.com/2019/03/15/mary-ellen-welch-dies-at-age-77/|title=Mary Ellen Welch, Dies at Age 77|publisher=East Boston Times-Free Press|access-date=September 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190925201946/https://eastietimes.com/2019/03/15/mary-ellen-welch-dies-at-age-77/|archive-date=September 25, 2019|url-status=live}} even though Massport had predicted the new traffic patterns allowed by 14/32 would actually reduce overflights and noise in those areas.

Since the opening of the new runway, there has been disagreement about when and how often it should operate. Residents have demanded a minimum of {{convert|11.5|kn|km/h|adj=on}} northwest winds, slightly higher than the {{convert|10|kn|km/h mph|adj=on}} threshold favored by Massport.

The rationale behind constructing the new runway 14/32 was that it reduces the need for improving existing Runway 15L/33R, which, at only {{convert|2557|ft|m|0}} is perhaps the shortest hard-surface runways at major airports in the United States.{{cite web |url=https://westerling.com/?p=1244 |title= The Internet Home of Jonathan WesterlingSmall runways at BIG airports |website=Westerling.com |access-date=2022-03-01}} In 1988, Massport had proposed an {{convert|800|ft|m|-1|adj=on}} extension to 15L/33R (a project which would have required additional filling-in some land along a "clam bed"), but was thwarted by a court injunction.{{cite web|url=http://eastietimes.com/2014/09/29/eagle-hill-residents-seek-equity-in-use-of-logan-airport-runways/|title=Eagle Hill Residents Seek Equity In Use of Logan Airport Runways|publisher=East Boston Times-Free Press|access-date=September 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190925201952/http://eastietimes.com/2014/09/29/eagle-hill-residents-seek-equity-in-use-of-logan-airport-runways/|archive-date=September 25, 2019|url-status=live}}{{Failed verification|date=March 2021}}

Boston's Hyatt Harborside Hotel, which sits only a few hundred yards from the runway threshold, was built primarily{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} to prevent Massport from ever extending the length of 14/32 or using it for takeoffs or landings over the city. Massachusetts state legislators carefully chose the location of the hotel—directly in the runway centerline—prior to its construction in 1992.{{cite news |title=The 30-Year Saga of 14/32 |first=Peter J. |last=Howe |url=http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2006/11/19/the_30_year_saga_of_1432/ |newspaper=The Boston Globe |date=November 19, 2006 |access-date=October 26, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070510102939/http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2006/11/19/the_30_year_saga_of_1432/ |archive-date=May 10, 2007 |url-status=live }}

Logan Airport is a medium-sized airport in terms of cargo, handling 684,875 tons of freight in 2012, making it the 10th busiest airport in the U.S. in terms of cargo. It handles many U.S.-based cargo airlines, including DHL Aviation, FedEx Express and UPS Airlines. It also has cargo offices for many international cargo carriers, including British Airways World Cargo, Cathay Pacific Cargo, China Airlines Cargo, EVA Air Cargo, LATAM Cargo Chile, Lufthansa Cargo, Martinair Cargo, and Saudia Cargo.{{cite web|url=http://www.lancargo.com/oficinas-de-entrega-de-carga|title=LAN Drop Off Stations|access-date=April 13, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402161440/http://www.lancargo.com/oficinas-de-entrega-de-carga|archive-date=April 2, 2015|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.quickcalleronline.com/shipping_directories/air_regions/boston.htm|title=Boston Air Cargo Directory|access-date=March 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527092449/http://www.quickcalleronline.com/shipping_directories/air_regions/boston.htm|archive-date=May 27, 2013|url-status=live}} It has two cargo complexes: the North Cargo Terminal, located near Terminal E, and South Cargo, located near Terminal A. Given that the airport is the 10th busiest cargo facility in the country, with many companies operating at the airport, it has been recognized that future expansion of cargo from Logan is limited due to constrained physical space for expansion.[http://www.aircargoworld.com/logans-almost-forgotten-cargo-operation-gets-local-spotlight/ Logan’s almost-forgotten cargo operation gets local spotlight] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170424093526/http://aircargoworld.com/logans-almost-forgotten-cargo-operation-gets-local-spotlight/ |date=April 24, 2017 }} (By Brandon Fried), August 8, 2016, AIR CARGO WORLD

  • On September 17, 1979, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 with the registration C-FTLU operating as Air Canada Flight 680 left Boston for Yarmouth, NS. 14 minutes after taking off from Logan, the entire tailcone section of the aircraft separated resulting in rapid decompression at an altitude of 25,000 feet (7,600 m) and leaving a large hole in the rear fuselage. A beverage cart and other items in the cabin were sucked out of the aircraft over the Atlantic Ocean, but there were no fatalities or significant injuries. The aircraft safely returned to Boston without further incident. Fatigue cracks were determined to be the cause. Four years later, this same aircraft would be destroyed by a fire on June 2, 1983, as Air Canada Flight 797.
  • In the September 11 attacks, two Los Angeles-bound flights, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, originated and departed from Logan Airport. Both flights were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists and flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, ultimately leading to their destruction. American flags now fly over gates B32 and C19, the respective gates that the two planes pushed back from on this day. Under political pressure, acting Governor Jane Swift forced the CEO of Massport to resign, but it was later determined that the failure had been with the airline security checkpoint policy of allowing small knives, and not anything to do with Logan management.{{cite news |author=Vennochi |first=Joan |date=November 19, 2021 |title=In opinion journalism, the hardest words are 'I was wrong' |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/11/19/opinion/opinion-journalism-hardest-words-are-i-was-wrong/ |work=The Boston Globe}}
  • On June 9, 2005, US Airways Flight 1170 and Aer Lingus Flight 132 narrowly avoided colliding after they were cleared for takeoff nearly simultaneously on intersecting runways by two different air traffic controllers. The crew of the US Airways flight spotted the oncoming Aer Lingus jet and avoided a collision by keeping their own aircraft on the runway past their normal rotation point, allowing the Aer Lingus flight to pass over them. Both flights lifted off safely and continued to their destinations without further incident.

Alternative airports

The two historically known alternative airports to Logan are both located outside Massachusetts. Manchester–Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, New Hampshire, is located approximately {{convert|56|smi|km}} north-northwest of Logan, an average drive time of 62 minutes via I-90 and I-93. T. F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island, is located {{convert|60|smi|km}} south-southwest of Logan, averaging 76 minutes from Logan via I-90, I-93, and I-95, or a 100-minute ride via the Silver Line SL1 bus to South Station and then the Providence/Stoughton Line commuter rail to T. F. Green Airport station.{{cite web|url=http://www.massport.com/airports/faq.html#q5|work=Massport|title=Regional Airports: FAQ|year=2008|access-date=March 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080221181456/http://www.massport.com/airports/faq.html|archive-date=February 21, 2008}} Massport does not operate these facilities.

Massport does operate Worcester Regional Airport in Worcester, Massachusetts, which also serves as an alternative to Logan, although not widely known as such. In late 2017, the airport finished construction on a Category IIIb Landing System that would allow for arrivals and departures in virtually all weather conditions.{{cite web |date=June 10, 2018 |title=Wetlands & Wildlife Complicate Instrument Landing System Project at Worcester Regional |url=https://airportimprovement.com/article/wetlands-wildlife-complicate-instrument-landing-system-project-worcester-regional |access-date=2021-10-26 |website=Airport Improvement Magazine}} The increased reliability, which has been the main concern for airlines operating at the notoriously foggy airport over the years, was expected to draw additional service. The airport is located {{convert|47|smi|km}} due west of Logan, primarily accessed via Interstates I-90 and I-290.
