Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

FR24 shows that AS389 was taking off on 22L at the time UA688 went around. There's also the ATC recording available - scroll to minute 22 or so. Based on that I *think* they were trying to get AS389 out first, but either timed it poorly or the Alaska crew didn't expedite. But the ATC quality is poor enough that they could have meant after the UA flight landed. Go arounds happen everyday at every major airport; it's functionally routine - but it'll be up to the FAA to decide if it ever got inside the bubble that defines an actual incursion. (Also, note that 400ft was its lowest point of decent; it passed above government center at about 1400.)

The controller talking to the Alaska flight clearly anticipated getting AS389 out ahead of the United landing. That "no delay on the roll" language is common when they're trying to move them in tight timeframes (and it sounded like he said it again to Alaska). Still could be the case that they tried to send it out in too narrow a window, but it's hard to say from the recording. But the controller for AS389 clearly intended for it to depart before the United.
 
Iberia is going to use its new A321XLR on its non-stop service from Madrid beginning this November. Currently, they operate service to Boston daily April through October and 4 weekly November through March. With the introduction of the A321, they will increase service during winter to daily as of mid-December. Will be curious to see what they run for NS 2025.
 
Frontier is expanding its network in Boston. Beginning August 13th, they will launch daily service to Atlanta and Charlotte plus 4-weekly flights to Dallas/Ft. Worth beginning August 14th.
