On-Airport Parking at Logan Scarce During Peak Business Travel

Demand for On-Airport Parking at Boston Logan Makes Available Spaces Exceedingly Scarce 
Travelers advised to leave cars at home and take Mass Transit

BOSTON – 2012-11-13 — /travelprnews.com/ — The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) today advised travelers that on-airport parking at Boston Logan International Airport is exceedingly scarce because of high demand as business travel peaks the week before Thanksgiving. Supply will be critically low through Thursday, November 15, 2012.

“Please consider leaving your car at home during this busy travel period,’’ said Director of Aviation Edward C. Freni. “ No one wants to miss a flight because they could not park and travelers who have the option of using public transportation or Logan Express should take advantage of those options.”  Demand for on-airport parking will peak this week as business travelers schedule last minute trips before the holiday.

To help reduce demand for on airport parking, Massport is encouraging travelers to consider MBTA Blue Line or Silver Line service. Silver Line Service from Logan to the South Boston Seaport District and South Station is free. For suburban travelers Massport is offering reduced parking rates at its Logan Express locations. Logan Express parking lots are located in Braintree, Framingham, Peabody and Woburn. Full-service bus terminals and parking are available at each location.

The supply of on-airport parking will rebound during the week of Thanksgiving as families travel for the holiday.
