Massport Advances Framingham Remote Terminal Pilot to Let Logan Flyers Clear TSA Off-Site

TSA approval remains pending as the authority tests whether off-airport screening can cut congestion.

Overview

  • Massport formally outlined a June–August 2026 test from a temporary trailer at the Framingham Logan Express overflow lot.
  • Passengers would complete TSA screening and check bags at the site, then ride secure buses that drop them behind security at Logan’s Terminals A or C.
  • Buses would depart hourly during a four- to five-hour morning window with advance reservations required and roughly 30 passengers per bus.
  • The agency says approval from TSA is still required, with staffing and chain-of-custody protocols under review, including checked bags riding under the bus and carry-ons kept separate.
  • Fares during the pilot would match standard Logan Express prices as Massport gauges demand and assesses whether to expand the model to other locations.
