Logan International Airport, International airport in East Boston, United States
Logan International Airport covers 965 hectares with six runways and four passenger terminals, functioning as the primary aviation hub for New England. The facility connects the region with hundreds of destinations worldwide through dozens of different airlines.
The airport opened in 1940 and grew rapidly with two additional terminals built in 1949 to handle rising demand. It was named after General Edward Lawrence Logan, a World War I military aviator from Boston.
Travelers from across the world pass through daily, mixing with regional commuters heading to other American cities. The terminals reflect Boston's global ties, where business travelers and vacationers share the same spaces and different languages blend together naturally.
The Blue Line connects all terminals directly to downtown, while water ferries offer a scenic alternative across the harbor. Express buses reach several suburbs, letting commuters from farther away travel directly without transfers.
A chapel inside the airport was the first of its kind at an American airport, offering travelers of all faiths a quiet retreat. Artworks and rotating exhibits throughout the terminals showcase local artists, giving waiting areas an unexpected cultural touch.
