Boston Logan International Airport
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Boston Logan have customs?
Yes. Logan International is a full international port of entry with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on-site, making it ideal for transatlantic, Caribbean, and Latin American private jet arrivals.
How close is Boston Logan to downtown?
Boston Logan is approximately 3 miles from downtown Boston, typically a 15 to 25 minute drive through the Ted Williams Tunnel. It's the closest major airport to the city center, though Hanscom Field (BED) is preferred by most private jet travelers heading to Cambridge.
Why choose Hanscom Field over Boston Logan?
Hanscom Field has zero commercial traffic, faster ground handling, and direct highway access to Cambridge, MIT, Harvard, and the Route 128 tech corridor. Most private jet travelers prefer Hanscom unless they specifically need Logan's international customs or downtown proximity.
