Massachusetts Port Authority

About

The Massachusetts Port Authority, known as Massport, is an independent public authority that develops, promotes and manages airports, seaport facilities and transportation infrastructure so Massachusetts and New England can compete globally. It runs Boston Logan International Airport, New England’s global gateway, with direct service to more than 150 domestic and international destinations on over 40 airlines. Logan sits 3 to 5 miles from downtown, and most travelers reach the city in 15 to 30 minutes by car, MBTA Blue Line, Silver Line or water taxi.

Beyond Logan, Massport operates Worcester Regional Airport, which has nonstop service from JetBlue, American and Delta, and Hanscom Field in Bedford, the region’s largest general aviation airport, used by corporate aviation, private pilots and flight schools. On the water, it runs Conley Terminal in South Boston, the Port of Boston’s only full-service container terminal, along with Flynn Cruiseport Boston. Its portfolio also covers the Boston Fish Pier and Commonwealth Pier.
