Media Inquiries

The Massport Media Relations office is open regular hours Monday through Friday and is ready to assist journalists covering transportation, aviation, maritime, and real estate development. All requests for interviews should go through our Media Relations office. Media can reach out through MediaRelations@massport.com
 

Members of the media are asked to reach out to the Massport Media Relations office before coming to Massport facilities to coordinate parking, as it can be limited. Vehicles must be clearly marked media vehicles or have a placard on the dashboard. No parking is allowed on airport roadways.

Although the terminals at Boston Logan and Worcester Regional Airport are public areas, we ask media to contact us before coming to the airport for security reasons. Members of the media must display identification at all times while at the airport. Media should not block or disrupt airport business while visiting, and must follow any instructions given by staff or State Police. Massport reserves the right to restrict access to the airport during times of emergency. 

Access to areas not available to the general public—such as the airfield, Conley Terminal, the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, or dockside when a ship is in port—is granted at the sole discretion of Massport. Members of the media who are given such access will be subject to a satisfactory criminal background check and/or a federal terrorism threat assessment.

The FAA or Airlines might delay, cancel or reroute flights due to atmospheric conditions, navigational equipment, aircraft equipment, aircraft de-icing, ground movement or other issues. Any questions on the movement of airplanes should be directed towards the FAA or specific airlines. The list of airlines that serve Boston Logan can be found here, and for Worcester here. During weather events such as snowstorms, Massport works to keep the runways and taxiways clear of ice and snow. Sometimes this may lead to delays during storms. 

In the event of an emergency, the best place for information is our website or the X (formerly Twitter) accounts of Massport and our properties. They are: 
Massport: @massport
Boston Logan Airport: @BostonLogan
Worcester Regional Airport: @FlyWorcester
Port of Boston: @PortofBos
Flynn Cruiseport: @flynncruiseport

If the situation warrants, Massport will create a media availability location. This location will be communicated on our social platforms and our website. Massport and other agencies will use this location to safely provide information and updates to media. 

Massport does not provide details on law enforcement investigations. All questions regarding investigations should be directed towards the Massachusetts State Police.

740 Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR)—Airport Security

30.21: Use of Cameras or Other Recording Equipment in Restricted Areas (Restricted Areas are any area of the Airport to which the public does not have authorized access.)

The use of a camera or electronic image recording equipment in a Restricted Area of an Airport that could reasonably be perceived as recording or attempting to record the image of an Airport security or emergency response measure is prohibited, unless authorized by the Authority.

At the Authority’s request, the user or owner shall surrender any media reasonably believed to have been used to store photographic or electronic images of a security or emergency response measure in a Restricted Area of an Airport. The Authority may confiscate any such media if the owner or user refuses to surrender it upon request.
