| 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.<ref name="Logan History">{{cite web |url=http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/about-logan/Pages/LoganHistory.aspx |title=History |website=Massport|year=2010|accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> 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]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://threadex.rcc-acis.org |title=Threaded Extremes |website=Threaded Extremes |date=February 19, 2015 |accessdate=March 7, 2015}}</ref>

| 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 {{convert|1800|acre}} of landfill in [[Boston Harbor]], taken from the former [[Governors Island (Massachusetts)|Governors]], [[Noddle's Island|Noddle's]] and [[Apple Island (Massachusetts)|Apple]] Islands. In 1943 the state renamed the airport after [[Lt. General]] [[Edward Lawrence Logan]], a [[Spanish–American War]] officer from South Boston.<ref name="Logan History" /><ref>{{cite news |last1=Maguire |first1=Paul J. |date=September 24, 2014 |title=Logan Airport: The early years |url=http://www.bostonglobe.com/specials/insiders/2014/09/24/bgcom-archives-logan/Q3p9nPoYBa8Vbqrne3VeJO/story.html |department=Archives |work=Boston Globe}}</ref> In 1952, Logan Airport became the first in the United States with an indirect rapid transit connection, with the opening of the [[Airport (MBTA station)|Airport]] station on the [[Blue Line (MBTA)|Blue Line]].

| When Terminal E opened in 1974 it was the second largest international arrivals facility in the United States.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Logan 2000: A World Class Upgrade for the 21st Century|first=David|last=Brush|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3734/is_199706/ai_n8764688/|date=June 1997|work=ITE Journal|publisher=Institute of Transportation Engineers|accessdate=November 10, 2010}}{{dead link|date=September 2015}}</ref> 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.<ref name="Logan History" />

| Massport's relationship with nearby communities has been strained since the mid-1960s,<ref>{{cite book |last=Nelkin |first=Dorothy |year=1974 |title=Jetport: The Boston Airport Controversy |publisher=Transaction Publishers |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OGyP64Vm7TcC |isbn=0-87855-591-9 |page=80}}</ref> 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.<ref>Nelkin, p. 80–82.</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news |title=Their 2D Run at Runway |first=Christine |last=MacDonald |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=BG&p_theme=bg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0FF408367934CDD2&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |newspaper=The Boston Globe |date=November 30, 2003|accessdate=November 10, 2010}}</ref>

| 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.<ref>{{cite news |title=Judge Allows Long-Fought Runway at Logan|first1=Michael S.|last1=Rosenwald|first2=Sean P.|last2=Murphy|url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2003/11/19/judge_allows_long_fought_runway_at_logan/|newspaper=The Boston Globe |date=November 19, 2003|accessdate=July 28, 2006}}</ref> 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 [[Federal Aviation Administration|FAA]] approved construction of a center field [[taxiway]] long-sought by Massport. The {{convert|9300|ft|m|-1|sing=on}} taxiway is between, and parallel to, Runways 4R/22L and 4L/22R. News of the project angered neighboring residents.<ref>{{cite news |title=Taxiway Plan Upsets Neighbors |first=Paysha|last=Stockton Rhone |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/08/13/taxiway_plan_upsets_neighbors/ |newspaper=The Boston Globe |date=August 13, 2006|accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> In 2009 the taxiway opened ahead of schedule and under budget.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.faa.gov/airports/environmental/records_decision/media/rod_boston_2007.pdf|title=FAA: Environmental Impact Statement – Airside Improvements Planning Project – Centerfield Taxiway|publisher=Federal Aviation Administration|date=April 20, 2007|format=PDF|accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> To ensure the taxiway is not mistaken for a runway, "TAXI" is written in large yellow letters at each end.

| | |
| ===Runway 14/32===
| |
| Runway 14/32, which officially 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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.massport.com/in-the-community/community-relations-and-government-affairs/ |title=Community Relations and Government Affairs |website=Massport |accessdate=March 8, 2015}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| [[File:Loganairportwithplane.JPG|thumb|right|Logan International Airport with an [[Air Canada Jazz]] [[CRJ-700]] taking off over the harbor]]
| |
| There was fierce opposition towards the construction of 14/32 among communities adjacent to the northwest side of the airport, such as Chelsea and East Boston, as authorities acknowledged that these areas would likely see an increase in noise levels. Residents of Winthrop and [[Revere, Massachusetts|Revere]] also joined in opposition, even though Massport had promised that the new traffic patterns allowed by 14/32 would reduce overflights of those areas.
| |
| | |
| Since the opening of the new runway, there has been disagreement about when, and how often, the new runway should be operational. Residents have demanded a minimum of {{convert|11.5|kn|km/h|adj=on}} northwest winds, slightly higher than the {{convert|10|kn|km/h|adj=on}} threshold favored by Massport.
| |
| | |
| The new runway reduces the need for the existing Runway 15L/33R, which, at only {{convert|2557|ft|m|0}} is among the shortest hard-surface runways at major airports in the United States. In 1988, Massport had proposed an {{convert|800|ft|m|-1|sing=on}} extension to this airstrip (a project which would have required additional filling-in of land along a clam bed), but was thwarted by a court injunction.<ref name="Airport Technology">{{cite web |url=http://www.airport-technology.com/projects/boston-logan/|title=Logan International Airport Expansion, Boston, Massachusetts, United States|work=airport-technology.com|year=2010|accessdate=October 12, 2010}}{{Unreliable source?|reason=domain on WP:BLACKLIST|date=June 2016}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| 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. Massachusetts state legislators carefully chose the location of the hotel—directly in the runway centerline—prior to its construction in 1992.<ref>{{cite news |title=The 30-Year Saga of 14/32 |first=Peter J. |last=Howe |url=http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2006/11/19/the_30_year_saga_of_1432/ |newspaper=The Boston Globe |date=November 19, 2006 |accessdate=October 26, 2007}}</ref>

| | |
| ===FBOs===
| |
| The airport is served by several [[Fixed-Base Operator]]s (FBO), which handle fueling, ground handling, aircraft cleaning, cargo service and aircraft maintenance. They include [[Swissport|Swissport USA]] and Ground Service International.

| ===Roads and tolls===
| |
| [[File:Boston Logan International Airport Cell Phone Waiting Lot.jpg|thumb|Cell Phone Waiting Lot on Harborside Drive]]
| |
| By public roads, the airport is accessible via Exit 26 of the [[Massachusetts Turnpike]] ([[Interstate 90]]), near its eastern terminus, which provides easy access from the west via the [[Ted Williams Tunnel]]. East of Exit 26, I-90 transitions to [[Massachusetts Route 1A|Route 1A]] to Lynn and [[New Hampshire]]. From the south, travellers on [[Interstate 93]] can connect to the Masspike east, through the Ted Williams Tunnel and take exit 26 to reach the airport. From the north, I-93 traffic to the airport uses the [[Callahan Tunnel]], Route 1A North. From the [[North Shore (Massachusetts)|North Shore]], access is via Route 1A South. Additionally, road traffic from most of downtown Boston, [[Back Bay]] and [[Fenway]]/[[Boston University]] should use the Callahan Tunnel. The westbound twin tunnel to the Callahan Tunnel is known as the [[Sumner Tunnel]]. Eastbound travel through the tunnels is free, but there is a US$3.50 toll for westbound travel, and a $5.25 toll for taxis, which passengers are responsible for.

| ===Limousine and taxi===
| |
| [[Limousine]] pickup is also very common at the airport. Limousine drivers are not allowed to leave their vehicles at the designated pickup areas and pickup locations vary depending on the terminal. For Terminal A, the pickup location is on the arrival level, outside baggage claim, in a small parking lot across the road. For Terminal B, limousine drivers wait for their passengers inside the Terminal B Parking Garage on the lower level. At Terminal C, pickup is on the departure level at the second and third islands from the building. At Terminal E, pickup is also on the arrival level in a small parking lot across the outermost curb. For Public Safety, soliciting passengers anywhere on Logan Airport property by any ground transportation provider is punishable by a $500-dollar fine for each offense.
| |
| | |
| [[Taxicab|Taxi]] operations are coordinated at each terminal by Massport. Massport's regulations prohibit taxis from picking up fares at any location other than the designated [[taxi stand]]s located at curbside on the lower levels of Terminals A, C and E. For both sides of Terminal B, shuttle van services, limos and taxis all wait for passengers inside the Terminal B Parking Garage on the lower level. Signage inside B terminals directs passengers to the various modes of ground transportation. A large Taxi Pool near the South Cargo complex serves as the staging area for up to 400 taxis, which are typically paged to terminal taxi stands in groups of five or ten after waiting for up to ninety minutes or more.

| | |
| Metered-rates from Logan Airport to most Boston hotels range from approximately $23.00 to $35.00. The airport fee for all taxi trips leaving Logan is $2.25 and is entered into the taximeter by the driver. In addition, the full $5.25 Harbor Tunnel Toll is entered into the meter for taxi trips leaving the airport via either the Sumner Tunnel or the Ted Williams Tunnel. The combined fee/toll amount ($7.50) is displayed on the right side of the taxi meter and is automatically added to the metered fare (shown on the left side of the taxi meter) when the taxi has reached the passenger's destination and the meter is stopped. Taxi trips within a 20-mile radius of Boston City Hall (Meter Zone) are charged by running the taximeter. Taxi drivers will quote fare amounts from the Official Boston Police Department Flat-Rate Handbook to destinations outside the 20-mile radius.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofboston.gov/police/hackney/taxi_rates.asp |title=Taxi Rates |website=City of Boston |accessdate=October 12, 2010}}</ref> Additionally, the city of Boston allows its taxis to collect half ($2.75) the Harbor Tunnel Toll on trips to Logan Airport. No airport fee is collected on taxi trips to the airport. As of April 2009, all Boston taxicabs accept fare payment by credit or debit card. The passenger is walked through a series of steps displayed on a touch-screen in the rear passenger compartment of the taxi. Upon request, a meter-generated receipt will be issued.

Green Airport]] in [[Warwick, Rhode Island]], located {{convert|60|smi|km}} south-southwest of Logan, averaging a 1-hour, 8-minute drive to Logan via [[Interstate 95|I-95]], or a 75-minute ride on commuter rail from [[South Station (Boston)|South Station]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.massport.com/airports/faq.html#q5|work=Massport|title=Regional Airports: FAQ|year=2008|accessdate=March 25, 2008|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080221181456/http://www.massport.com/airports/faq.html|archivedate=February 21, 2008}}</ref> Massport does not operate these facilities.

| [[Worcester Regional Airport]] in [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]], which is also operated by Massport, also serves as an alternative to Logan. Currently, [[JetBlue Airways]] is the only commercial airline providing service to [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]]. The airport is undergoing multimillion-dollar infrastructure improvements including a [[Instrument Landing System|Category IIIb Landing System]] that will allow for arrivals and departures in virtually all weather conditions. The increased reliability, which has been the main concern for airlines operating at the notoriously foggy airport over the years, is expected to draw additional service once completed. The airport is located {{convert|46|smi|km}} due west of Boston, primarily accessed through the [[Massachusetts Turnpike]] and Interstate I-290.
