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. American, Jet Blue, US Airways, 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. | |||
The Airfield comprises 5 runways, one of which (15L/33R) is used solely for light aircraft due to its length (2557 ft.). The other four (15R/33L, 4R/22L, 4L/22R, and 9/27) are significantly longer, with two being about 10000 feet long, one being 7800 feet long, and the remaining one being 7000 feet even. | |||
The airport is made up of 5 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. | |||
