Boston Logan International Airport Expansion is gaining tremendous momentum as The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) granted preliminary approval for a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment of Terminal C, the anchor facility for JetBlue and several other carriers. Designed to replace infrastructure dating back to the 1960s, the project will expand the terminal’s footprint from 220,000 to 300,000 square feet. The planned overhaul replaces two legacy “hammerhead” concourses with a modern, open-concept concourse featuring higher ceilings, expanded seating, upgraded restrooms, enlarged concession areas, and improved line-of-sight to boarding gates. Pending final commercial, design, and environmental agreements, construction is projected to begin within a year and span approximately four to five years.
Simultaneously, Massport is advancing multiple landside and airside capital improvements to optimize traffic flow and passenger convenience. Ground transportation upgrades include the Terminal B Roadway and Garage Optimization project, which separates passenger cars from buses on Level 1 to alleviate curbside congestion, alongside roadway enhancements between Terminals C and E. Additionally, new airline lounges, including JetBlue’s BlueHouse lounge in Terminal C and an American Express Centurion Lounge linking Terminals C and E, are underway.
On the airfield, major safety and structural projects are in progress across the runway and taxiway systems. Highlighted by the ongoing construction of a pile-supported deck for an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) on Runway 27, these airfield enhancements are paired with taxiway rehabilitations and vehicle facility upgrades to maintain operational efficiency and accommodate record passenger volumes.
AECOM has been appointed as the lead architectural and engineering designer of the airport. Similarly, the firm also serves as the lead infrastructure consultant driving the preliminary design, technical execution, and project management for the New Lisbon Airport (Aeroporto Luís de Camões). In this role, AECOM works alongside local Portuguese partners to establish the master planning, architectural framework, and flexible expansion roadmap required to transition the project from a greenfield site into Portugal’s primary international hub.
Updated 15th September 2025
Construction has officially begun on the expansion of Terminal E at Boston’s Logan International Airport. The $450 million project, led by Skanska, will deliver a new 67,400-square-meter (725,000-square-foot) multi-story parking garage on the current Terminal E site. The facility will offer about 4,000 parking spaces, with dedicated areas for ground transportation on the lower level.
Plans also call for a new vehicular bridge linking the garage to the existing central parking complex and a pedestrian bridge connecting it directly to the terminals. Arrival and departure roadways will be reconfigured to improve access to the new facility.
Boston Logan International Airport Expansion Set to Uphold Sustainability
Sustainability features include the installation of solar photovoltaic panels to offset electricity use. The project will pursue Parksmart certification from the Green Building Certification Institute. Completion of the garage is expected in 2030. The project joins a list of other major US airports currently undertaking terminal expansion works.
