Apparently the work on Term E Enhancements for A380 has been topped-off

By the way the same construction company sites Marr and Suffolk have a lot of interesting pictures including this unique view of the renovations linking the two halves of Term B post security

Why does Virgin have a private gate area with their own security checkpoint?

Also, are both halves of B not being linked new? I walked from one end to the other without issue a few weeks ago
 
Azores Airlines/SATA will dip their toe into Boston-Funchal (Madeira Island) for a couple of weekly roundtrips for the Christmas Break season in 2016-17.

Would love to see it become a weekly summer destination as well from Logan. Perfect weather - Consistent mid 70's in August.

Concerning infrastructure Funchal Airport has a widened runway built alongside the ocean that has some interesting approaches and landings.

JetBlue is jumping into Boston-LaGuardia. It's being reported that they will commence 6 daily flights starting in October.

Woohoo! Much more convenient than having to get out to JFK for a Jet Blue flight to Logan!
 
Those Jetblue flights will be good competition to Delta Shuttle and American Airlines Shuttle. Both DL and AA tend to overprice this route. It looks like Jetblue is trying to go after the wealthy corporate customer with this and the introduction of transcontinental Mint service. Flights to LGA make much more sense for business travelers than Jetblues flights to Newark.

JetBlue cannot continue to ignore a market to Atlanta if they want to continue grabbing business travelers from Boston and New York. I have to think that within the next 18 months they will serve Atlanta from both Boston and New York, plus Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando.

Along with Atlanta, Minneapolis/St. Paul is another hole in their network.
 
^It almost seems like JetBlue is afraid of competing with Delta. Both Minneapolis and Atlanta are large Delta hubs.

In other JetBlue news the Mint premium service will expand to San Diego and Seattle by the beginning of 2018. According to Jetblues CEO "Boston was a very, very good surprise very quickly" when talking about the expansion of Mint service to Logan. JetBlue also plans to add seasonal Mint service to Aruba and Barbados.

JetBlue has also hinted that they are seriously looking at ordering A321LR jets from Airbus. These would allow the company to add transatlantic service from Boston and New York in the future. The A321LR ads 500 nm of range over a regular A321.

To give a little context to that range, it's 100nm more than the range of a 757-200. United used to (and still does) fly the 757 from EWR to secondary cities in Western Europe. They went as far as Berlin - although in the winter months strong headwinds would sometimes force a refueling stop on the westbound leg. I think the A321LR's extra 100nm of range, plus Boston's extra proximity to Europe, would allow BOS-TXL to occur throughout the year without a fuel stop.

Just thinking about JetBlue to Western Europe makes me excited! It would continue the downward pressure on TATL prices that WOW and Norwegian started.
