## Description

Around 246,000 tonnes of cargo moved through General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (BOS/KBOS) in 2025, making it New England's largest air freight gateway. Roughly half of that volume is carried by the integrators FedEx, UPS and DHL, while the other half travels as belly cargo on long-haul passenger services to Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The airport is run by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), and Swissport is among the handling agents on site. There is no broad standalone freighter operation of the kind seen at Memphis or Louisville — Logan lives on high-value, time-critical goods rather than bulk commodities. Temperature-controlled capacity is correspondingly important, serving clinical trial material, biologics and diagnostic samples from the Cambridge and Route 128 life-science cluster. For customs purposes Logan is a regular US port of entry under CBP; imports require the usual electronic advance filings, and pharmaceutical or medical-device shipments face additional FDA requirements. Interstates 90, 93 and 95 open up a trucking hinterland reaching Connecticut and Maine, supplemented by road feeder services to New York. Shippers seeking more freighter capacity or keener rates typically switch to New York JFK (about 340 km by road), Newark (EWR) or Bradley International near Hartford (BDL, roughly 160 km).
