The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) [has been] granted preliminary approval for a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment of Terminal C [at Boston Logan International Airport], the anchor facility for JetBlue and several other carriers.
Project will expand the terminal’s footprint from 220,000 to 300,000 square feet. The planned overhaul replaces two legacy “hammerhead” concourses with a modern, open-concept concourse featuring higher ceilings, expanded seating, upgraded restrooms, enlarged concession areas, and improved line-of-sight to boarding gates. Pending final commercial, design, and environmental agreements, construction is projected to begin within a year and span approximately four to five years.
Simultaneously, Massport is advancing multiple landside and airside capital improvements to optimize traffic flow and passenger convenience. Ground transportation upgrades include the Terminal B Roadway and Garage Optimization project, which separates passenger cars from buses on Level 1 to alleviate curbside congestion, alongside roadway enhancements between Terminals C and E. Additionally, new airline lounges, including JetBlue’s BlueHouse lounge in Terminal C and an American Express Centurion Lounge linking Terminals C and E, are underway.
On the airfield, major safety and structural projects are in progress across the runway and taxiway systems. Highlighted by the ongoing construction of a pile-supported deck for an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) on Runway 27, these airfield enhancements are paired with taxiway rehabilitations and vehicle facility upgrades...
