Boston Logan airport operational updates

Overview

Massport is implementing several operational and infrastructure updates at Boston Logan International Airport. In late July, the agency announced the extension of a pilot program for a remote terminal in Framingham through at least March of the following year. This service, which allows Delta and JetBlue passengers to complete TSA screening and baggage check before shuttling to the airport, has served over 10,000 travelers and is considered a "success" by Massport CEO Rich Davey.

Concurrently, Massport is scheduled to begin the second phase of a runway safety improvement project on August 31. This involves installing an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) at the end of Runway 27 to meet FAA safety standards. The project requires the closure of Runway 9-27 for approximately 75 days, which may reduce airport capacity and lead to flight delays or shifts in flight patterns for residents in South Boston and Dorchester.
