Safety and security of our passengers and employees is our top priority
BOSTON – With the season’s first snowfall in the forecast, the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is preparing Boston Logan International Airport, Worcester Regional Airport, Hanscom Field, the Paul W. Conley Container Terminal, the Flynn Cruiseport Boston, and other maritime facilities for the upcoming winter weather in order to keep operations running smoothly throughout the season.
“We are confident that we are prepared for any upcoming winter weather thanks to our highly trained and experienced staff who have provided us with award-winning snow removal programs at all of our facilities,” said Massport CEO Lisa Wieland. “The safety and security of the tens of millions of passengers who use our facilities each year and our employees are our top priority. We strive to provide passengers with a safe, comfortable and convenient travel experience whatever their transportation needs.”
Over the past decade, Massport and its transportation partners have invested $ billions to improve and modernize our facilities and equip them with the latest time-saving and customer service amenities. During the winter, Logan has more than 100 highly trained and experienced men and women who operate more than 90 specialized pieces of equipment. Logan Airport, Worcester Regional Airport, and Hanscom Field all won Industry Balchen Post awards for snow clean-up efforts in the historic 2015 season and Logan has won the Balchen Post five times in the last 10 years.
“The safety and security of our passengers and airport employees is our number one priority,” said Director of Aviation Ed Freni. “It’s important for us to properly maintain our fleet of equipment and invest in the right tools so we can efficiently respond to whatever mother nature brings and minimize any impact to our passengers and our airport community.”
“The Port of Boston plays a big role in our region’s economy,” said Acting Port Director Mike Meyran. “Maintaining a safe environment is critical to keep operations seamless for our business partners and customers at Conley, the Fish Pier, and other maritime facilities throughout the winter season.
