## Description

Before dawn at Logan's North Cargo apron, refrigerated trucks unload tanks of live New England lobster bound for Paris, Seoul and Dubai — seafood remains the airport's signature export. Boston Logan handled 543 million pounds (roughly 246,000 tonnes) of air freight in 2025, placing it among the top 20 US cargo airports. FedEx, UPS and DHL all operate freighter services, but much of the volume rides in the bellies of widebodies serving over 40 million passengers a year, including dense transatlantic and Gulf-carrier networks. The second pillar is pharma: the Cambridge/Kendall Square life-science cluster generates steady temperature-controlled traffic, cleared under CBP's ACE/AMS with Foreign-Trade Zone 27 on hand. Road access is direct via the Ted Williams Tunnel onto I-90, and Conley Container Terminal — New England's only full-service container port — sits minutes away in South Boston, both run by Massport. For forwarders, that sea-air pairing within one harbor is rare on the US East Coast. Cold-chain capacity is the expansion topic to watch as biotech exports keep growing.
