Logan International Airport (officially General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport) is an international airport located in the East Boston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States, (and partly in the town of Winthrop, Massachusetts). It covers , has six runways, and employs an estimated 16,000 people. Logan is the largest airport in New England and 18th busiest airport in the United States, with 31.6 million total passengers in 2014.
The airport serves as a focus city for JetBlue, who carries out the largest operations from Logan International Airport. The regional airline Cape Air and commuter airline PenAir all carry out hub operations from Boston. Delta Air Lines and American Airlines also carry out many operations from the airport. All of the major U.S. air carriers offer flights from Boston to all or the majority of their primary and secondary hubs. It is also a destination of many major European airlines. Logan Airport has previously served as a hub for American Eagle, Braniff International Airways, Delta Air Lines, Delta Connection, and Northeast Airlines, as well as a focus city for AirTran Airways, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Continental Connection, Pan American World Airways, Trans World Airlines, and US Airways.
The airport has frequent service to destinations throughout North America (including: the United States, Canada and Mexico), Latin America, the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic region (including: Bermuda, and the Azores), as well as the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Recently, Logan has seen rapid growth in international traffic, with new routes added by airlines such as Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Japan Airlines, Copa Airlines, El Al, Hainan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Aeromexico, WOW Air, Thomas Cook Airlines, Qatar Airways, Norwegian Air Shuttle, WestJet Encore, Eurowings, Scandinavian Airlines, and Air Berlin, as well as increased traffic on previously existing routes to Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
==History==

Logan Airport opened on September 8, 1923, and was used mainly by the Massachusetts Air Guard and the Army Air Corps. It was then called Jeffery Field. The first scheduled commercial passenger flights were on Colonial Air Transport between Boston and New York City in 1927. On January 1, 1936, the airport's weather station became the official point for Boston's weather observations and records by the National Weather Service.
Until around 1950 the airline terminal was at 42.367N 71.0275W; on the 1946 topo map the airfield extended less than 5,000 ft east from there (the east end of the field was at 42.361N 71.012W NAD83). During the 1940s the airport added of landfill in Boston Harbor, taken from the former Governors, Noddle's and Apple Islands. In 1943 the state renamed the airport after Lt. General Edward Lawrence Logan, a Spanish–American War officer from South Boston.〔 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.
The March 1947 diagram shows runway 4 (future 4L) in use, with runways 9 and 33 under construction; a different runway 33 ran northwestward from the present intersection of 4R and 9, and runway 25 ran southwest from the present intersection of 4L and 33. The December 1950 diagram shows a layout similar to the current one: runway 4L, 10,000-ft 4R, 7,000-ft 9 and 7,650-ft 33.
The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows 49 weekday departures on American, 31 Eastern, 25 Northeast, 8 United, 7 TWA domestic, 6 National, 6 Mohawk, 2 TCA and one Provincetown-Boston. In addition TWA had nine departures a week to or from the Atlantic, Pan Am had 18, Air France 8, BOAC 4 and LAI 4.
The jumbo jet era began at Logan in summer 1970 when Pan Am started daily Boeing 747s to London Heathrow Airport. The Boeing 747-400 is scheduled on flights to Boston by Air France, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa; Lufthansa also operates the Boeing 747-8i on one of its daily nonstop flights to Frankfurt.
When Terminal E opened in 1974 it was the second largest international arrivals facility in the United States. Between 1974 and 2015, the number of international travelers at Logan has tripled. International long-haul travel has been the fastest growing market sector at the airport. 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, when the agency took control of a parcel of residential land and popular fishing area near the northwest side of the airfield. This project was undertaken to extend Runway 15R/33L, which later became Logan's longest runway.〔Nelkin, p. 80–82.〕 Residents of the neighborhood, known as Wood Island, were bought out of their homes and forced to relocate. Public opposition came to a head when residents lay down in the streets to block bulldozers and supply trucks from reaching the construction zone.
Runway 14/32 opened on November 23, 2006, Logan's first major runway addition in more than forty years. It was proposed in 1973 but was delayed in the courts. According to Massport records, the very first aircraft to use the new airstrip was a Continental Express ERJ-145 regional jet landing on Runway 32, on the morning of December 2, 2006.
In April 2007 the FAA approved construction of a center field taxiway long-sought by Massport. The taxiway is between, and parallel to, Runways 4R/22L and 4L/22R. News of the project angered neighboring residents. In 2009 the taxiway opened ahead of schedule and under budget. To ensure the taxiway is not mistaken for a runway, "TAXI" is written in large yellow letters at each end.
A scene from the 2006 film ''The Departed'' was filmed at Logan, inside the connector bridge between Terminal E and the Central Parking Garage. Terminal C and several United Airlines and Northwest Airlines aircraft can be seen in the background. Parts of the Delta Air Lines 2007 "Anthem" commercial were filmed in Terminal A as well as the connector bridge between Terminal A and Central Parking.
In October 2009 US Airways announced it would close its Boston crew base in May 2010. The airline cited an "operations realignment" as the reason. Over 400 employees were transferred or terminated.
After starting service to Logan in 2004, JetBlue Airways was a major operator at Logan Airport by 2008 and its largest carrier by 2011, with flights to cities throughout North America and the Caribbean. The airline has plans to expand to 150+ flights by the end of 2015.
The Airbus A380 first landed at Logan Airport for compatibility checks on February 8, 2010.
