The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) announced today that its premium parking service -- Parking PASSport Gold, that allows travelers guaranteed parking at the airport is now available at Boston Logan's Central Parking Garage. Massport first introduced the Parking Passport Gold program at the Terminal B Garage in September.

Designed to accommodate the needs of business travelers, Gold parking areas are located in designated areas of Central Parking on level 3 and the Terminal B Garage on level 1. Parking PASSPort Gold guarantees parking for an extra $5 a day, plus an initial $200 enrollment fee with $100 annual renewal.

As Boston Logan's $4 billion modernization project nears completion, one of its prime components - expanding parking capacity - is in full swing with construction nearly complete for three new parking levels, totaling 2,880 new parking spaces, being added at Boston Logan's Central Garage. Other renovations and upgrades to the existing garage, include: new garage elevators and stair towers; a new exterior facade; improved signage and graphics; better pedestrian circulation and transfers; improved utilities; enhanced security and emergency features; and automated parking pay stations for express exiting.

"Frequent flyers plan their time carefully and what we hear most often is how much time should be allowed to find parking at the airport," said Massport CEO and Executive Director Thomas J. Kinton, Jr. "What Parking PASSport Gold provides is the guarantee that parking will be available to program participants. That certainty is a commodity that frequent flyers have long sought and I am very happy that the technology exists and is now available at Boston Logan International Airport."

Logan International Airport offers domestic service to 78 destinations and international service to 33 destinations. In 2005, the airport accommodated 27 million passengers and generated approximately $7 billion in total economic impact to the region and $559 million in state and local taxes.
