Overview
- TSA and the Massachusetts Port Authority launched the Logan Airport Remote Terminal in Framingham on June 1 as the nation’s first off‑site screening site to move the checkpoint process away from the airport.
- The service lets eligible travelers check in, print boarding passes, drop checked bags, complete TSA screening, then board a secure Landline bus that delivers them to the airside of Logan beyond security.
- The pilot is limited to Delta and JetBlue flights scheduled between 5:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., runs June through August, and will be evaluated for expansion based on demand and operational results.
- Tickets cost $9 one‑way with parking at Framingham for $7 per day, reservations are open from 90 days to 90 minutes before departure, and Massport reported more than 2,200 ticket sales and roughly 300 sales per day in the opening days.
- Practical limits include hourly buses of about 50–55 seats, fixed time windows, and the facility’s 30‑minute distance from Boston, factors that will shape whether the model is scaled to other airlines or locations.
