Boston's Logan International Airport is the largest airport in New England, and serves as a focus city for a number of airlines, though it isn't a hub for any major carrier. Azores Airlines, JetBlue, and Delta all have major operational centers in Boston. Cape Air also has their New England hub here, and despite their relatively small size as an air carrier, their blue-tailed Cessna 402C's are ubiquitous around Logan. | Boston's Logan International Airport is the largest airport in New England, and serves as a focus city for a number of airlines, though it isn't a hub for any major carrier.

The airfield comprises | The airfield comprises 6 runways, one of which (15L/33R) is used solely for light aircraft due to its length (2557 ft.). The other five (15R/33L, 4R/22L, 4L/22R, 9/27, and 32/14) are significantly longer, with two being about 10000 feet long, one being 7800 feet long, one being 7000 feet even, and the shortest of the remaining runways being 5000 feet even. Runway 14/32, which opened to air traffic on November 23, 2006, is unidirectional. Runway 32 is used for landings and 14 is used for takeoffs. Massport is barred by a court order from using the runway for overland landings or takeoffs, except in emergencies. Boston's Hyatt Harborside Hotel, which sits only a few hundred yards from the runway threshold, was built primarily to prevent Massport from ever extending the length of 14/32 or using it for takeoffs or landings over the city. | ||
The airport is made up of | The airport is made up of 4 terminals, lettered A through E. More recently, what used to be Terminal D has been absorbed under the Terminal C moniker, due to its small size (just a few gates). While the terminals are all arranged nominally in a circle around a central roadway and parking system, they share nothing in common architecturally, making it almost feel like Logan is actually comprised of 4 smaller airports. | ||
