Airport HistoryEst. 1923

Opened in 1923 on filled land at Jeffries Point in East Boston, Logan is one of the oldest continuously operating airports in the United States and today serves as New England's primary air gateway. It grew from a small Army Air Corps and Massachusetts National Guard field into a major international hub operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), with six runways and four terminals on land largely reclaimed from Boston Harbor. Logan holds a somber place in aviation history as the departure point for two of the four aircraft hijacked on September 11, 2001, and it remains one of the few major U.S. airports directly connected to a city's rapid-transit subway system.

✦Runway 15L/33R, at just 2,557 feet, is the shortest runway at any of the 30 busiest U.S. airports.
✦Logan's 'Our Lady of the Airways' chapel, opened in 1951, is considered the first airport chapel built in the United States.
✦The airport's weather station has served as the official U.S. National Weather Service observation point for Boston since 1936.
✦Logan sits on land that is roughly 85% reclaimed from Boston Harbor, having expanded well beyond its original 1923 footprint.
