Boston Logan International Airport

Boston Logan handles both heavy commercial traffic and private aviation from a single airport complex on a peninsula in Boston Harbor. Signature Flight Support operates the primary FBO for private passengers, with a dedicated terminal, ramp parking, and fuel. The facility handles international arrivals with on-site CBP. Logan is a Level 2 schedule-facilitated airport, meaning slot coordination applies during peak periods. Private operators should expect ground delays and congestion, particularly during morning and evening bank periods when commercial traffic peaks.

Noise abatement procedures are in effect and Stage 2 aircraft are prohibited. Departures follow specific corridor routing over the harbor to minimize residential overflight. Logan operates 24 hours but nighttime operations attract scrutiny from Massport's noise office, and operators of older or louder aircraft should confirm compliance before scheduling late-night departures. The airport sits in a tight urban airspace with Class B airspace overhead and active approach paths to multiple runways.

Downtown Boston is 3 miles from the terminal, a 10 to 20 minute drive depending on tunnel congestion. The Ted Williams Tunnel (I-90) is the standard route for Signature FBO passengers heading to the Seaport, Financial District, or Back Bay. Cambridge and the MIT area run about 5 miles and 20 to 30 minutes by car. Boston Water Taxi operates a private water taxi service directly from the airport dock to the Seaport and downtown wharves in roughly 10 minutes, which avoids tunnel traffic entirely. Black car and car service pickup is available at the FBO. Logan Express buses serve Braintree, Framingham, and Woburn for passengers connecting to the suburbs, though private passengers typically use car service.
