Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

As a practical matter, how often does any aircraft operate on the stubby little runway 15L/33R? Is it just there to shunt GA aircraft that have accidentally lined up for 15R to land behind a heavy, or some other really-unlikely use? It reminds me of the odd prop-era crosswind runways that are still at DCA and EWR--all hell'd break lose if anyone actually used them, or even taxied across a "real" runway to try.

This would be a really smart idea, particularly around the busy times for International Arrivals and Departures! (Although Departures are harder, since they are now spread out over more Terminals.)

Cape Air's Cessna 402s can land on it, and they're a significant portion of the takeoffs/landings at Logan.

Since you can't land on 14 or 9, when it's in the SE operating pattern, it's important because 15R is the only other runway open for landings then and otherwise you'd have all the GA/Cape Air traffic landing on it with the large aircraft.

I never realized you can't land on 9, but it makes sense. I don't think I've ever seen it happen. You can take off from 27 though, right? I'm almost positive I have seen that a few times, then they bank left very soon after.

They should make it so you can only land on 27 and take off on 9, build 1200 foot millennium place, call it a day.

Eurowings Boston-Cologne service isn't long for the world it seems. Removed as of 8/26/16. Heard rumors of staffing issues on other boards.

Good news for Air Berlin, WOW, and Norwegian but possibly not great news for the affected passengers.

Would be great for a carriers to do nonstop to Berlin, seems like a better/more profitable route
 
Sorry for the lack of information, but I have a question- was it posted in here that Turkish is upgrading the aircraft on the route from the A330 to the 777-300? I ask because I have a flight booked for December and before I choose seats I want to be certain I'm on the A330. I feel like I saw that they were changing aircraft on the route, but I might be mistaken. Google and searches of this forum yield nothing. Thanks.

Yes absolutely, but I believe the issue with serving Berlin is capacity in Berlin. The Berlin airports are full to the max. BER is delayed to all hell. It will likely be undersized anyway when it opens, if ever. Meanwhile, Tegel is literally bursting at the seams (Terminal C is literally a converted hangar) & Schönefeld is just a total dump served by budget airlines.

It really is a shame that there isn't more Boston-Berlin service.
 
The Boston page over at Airliners.net is talking about BOS-Vancouver being a 'underserved route of the day' or something. From the conversation, it sounds like WestJet is doing well. My Canada-US more general question, is how come it seems like there is very little interest in US airlines serving Canada. It all seems like Canadian airlines doing point to point in the US. Obviously less domestic growth options throughout Canada, but is there something i'm not seeing.

For example, seems like Quebec and Maritime Canada are a decent opportunity for JetBlue to serve both with O&D also as a mini-hub to challenge AirCanada. QC-BOS-DUB seems like good routing that could be served.

I think it's largely bureaucracy. Virgin America bailed on Toronto at one point because of landing fees and hassles. It's also connections - much more reason for AC to serve Toronto from Boston than for JetBlue to do it, since you can transfer at the hub. It's doesn't work any differently for Canada than it does for Dubai.
 
Is there a map somewhere that shows everywhere that Logan has direct daily service to?

Not quite what you wanted, but Delta just posted everywhere you can go with them...

Does anyone know if Delta is close to surpassing American as Logan's number 2 carrier. With the added service I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
 
Someone ought to inform Delta which island Punta Cana is on. (Hint: it's not Cuba.)
 
Fun aside: Happy National Aviation Day to all you fellow AvGeeks.

jetBlue gets us:
