Logan Airport Fall 2026 Runway Work and Pickup Guide

What it means for delays

Massport says Logan will have reduced runway capacity during the closure and that travelers may experience delays, particularly during periods of inclement weather. Its construction updates page adds that delays may be most likely during afternoon and evening hours. It also advises travelers to check flight status before heading to the airport.

For a ground transportation plan, the useful takeaway is that a scheduled arrival time is less reliable than usual. A flight can land early, late or after a holding pattern, and a chauffeur booked against the schedule alone may be waiting at the wrong time. The fix is simple: give us the airline and flight number so the pickup follows the actual flight, and leave extra room in anything that depends on landing time, such as a meeting or a dinner reservation.

Departures work the other way. A delayed inbound aircraft can push your outbound flight, but you still need to be at the airport early enough to clear security. Do not move your car later on the assumption that the flight will be late. Check the status the morning of travel and decide then.

Terminal E changes to know about

Terminal E is the terminal most international arrivals use, and it is also where Massport currently lists construction impacts. Massport reports that vestibules E101 and E102 are closed, that the Terminal E to Terminal C Arrivals level sidewalk closure is ongoing, and that the Terminal E taxi stand will be relocated to outside Door E107. It asks passengers to follow signage, allow extra travel time and be aware of their surroundings.

Those notices describe walkways and the taxi stand. They do not change the limousine pickup location Massport lists for Terminal E. Still, with doors closed and sidewalks rerouted, the walk from customs to the pickup area can take longer than you remember. Tell your chauffeur how many bags you have and whether anyone needs a slower pace, and expect to follow temporary signs.

Construction can change quickly. Before you travel, check the Massport roadway and construction updates page for the current list, since items are added and removed as work moves.

Timing advice for the next several weeks

For arrivals, book by flight number rather than by clock time, and tell us if the flight is a connection that could be rebooked. For international arrivals into Terminal E, plan on customs and baggage time before you reach the pickup point.

For departures, set your car by the airline check-in guidance and the traffic you expect, not by the departure time alone. Tunnel and highway conditions in and out of Logan vary through the day, and afternoon and evening are the periods Massport flags for flight delays.

If you have a tight connection on the other end, such as a ceremony, a hearing or a conference session, leave more room than you normally would. A buffer of an hour costs very little compared with arriving late.

Group arrivals are easier with one plan. If several people land on different flights, give us each flight number and choose a single meeting point, or book separate cars so no one waits on a late flight. Sprinter service is available for groups.
