Some Boston Fliers Will Now Go Through TSA 25 Miles from the Airport
A new pilot program allows select passengers flying from Boston's Logan International Airport to go through TSA security at a remote terminal in Framingham, Massachusetts. This initiative aims to alleviate long security lines and reduce traffic congestion in Boston. If successful, it could serve as a model for similar programs at airports nationwide.
- ▪The remote terminal is located 25 miles from Logan Airport in Framingham, Massachusetts.
- ▪Passengers will check in and go through security at the Framingham facility before taking a bus to Logan.
- ▪The program is currently limited to Delta and JetBlue flights during specific hours and will be evaluated for future expansion.
