Logan Airport
Definition
Boston Logan International Airport (IATA: BOS), commonly referred to as Logan Airport, is the largest airport in New England and the primary international gateway serving Boston, Massachusetts, and the surrounding region.
Operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), it offers direct flights to over 100 domestic and international destinations and handles tens of millions of passengers annually.
Named after General Edward Lawrence Logan, a Boston native and World War I veteran, it's notorious for its chaotic traffic, epic security lines, and the occasional Nor'easter-induced travel apocalypse.
