Boston Airport Opens New Remote Terminal to Help Facilitate TSA Security Screenings

A new straight-to-gate pilot program made its debut at Boston Logan International Airport on Monday, in hopes of expediting passenger entry with a new offsite remote terminal.

The move from Massachusetts Port Authority follows historically high airport security wait times this spring resulting from a partial government shutdown that led to widespread TSA agent callouts and staffing shortages.

As of June 1, Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways passengers traveling on flights between 5:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET are eligible to pass through Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints at the Logan Airport Remote Terminal in Framingham, 25 miles from the airport, and get bussed directly to their gates, according to Massachusetts Port Authority, or Massport.
