Boston Logan International Airport

Boston Logan International Airport is the primary airport serving the greater Boston metropolitan area in Massachusetts and the largest airport in New England. Located on the waterfront in East Boston, just two miles from downtown, Logan opened in 1923 and was named after General Edward Lawrence Logan in 1943. The airport handles approximately 42 million passengers annually across four terminals labeled A through E, with Terminal B being the largest. BOS serves as a hub for JetBlue Airways and a focus city for Delta Air Lines, and offers extensive nonstop service to European destinations, making it a key transatlantic gateway for the northeastern United States. The MBTA Blue Line provides direct subway service from the airport to downtown Boston, with a free shuttle bus connecting all terminals to the Airport station. Logan's waterfront location also allows for water taxi and ferry service to downtown Boston and other harbor destinations. The airport is notable for operating in a space-constrained environment on reclaimed land in Boston Harbor, which has influenced its compact terminal layout. A $2 billion modernization program has included expanded international arrivals capacity and improvements to terminal facilities across the airport.
