BOS Airport: Boston Logan Live Flight Status

BOS Airport ranks among the busiest airports in our own 30-day traffic measurement. The code belongs to Boston Logan International Airport (IATA: BOS, ICAO: KBOS), the large airport serving the city of Boston in the United States, located at 42.362 N, 71.0079 W. This page is arranged status-first: the live radar near the top shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from BOS right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it carry the scheduled and expected times and the status of each flight, while the sections below cover what neither can show, starting with our own traffic measurement, then the airlines that dominate it, and finally the nearby alternatives.

What our 30-day measurement shows

The traffic figures on this page come from our own reception measurement. Over a 30-day period, that measurement recorded an average of 102.6 aircraft observations per day near Boston Logan. That figure puts BOS in the top tier of our traffic scale, the level we label as very busy, which fits its classification as a large airport in our database. The busiest window in the measurement fell between 00:00 and 02:00 UTC. Our measuring clock runs in UTC rather than local Boston time, so read that window as the two hours in which our receivers picked up the most BOS traffic, not as local midnight at the airport. Treat the daily average as what it is, a mean over 30 days, not a count for any single day.

Airlines at Boston Logan

Three carriers stand out in our BOS data. JetBlue was the airline our receivers picked up most often, with 565 observations recorded in 30 days; you can follow its current operations on our JetBlue flight status page. Delta Air Lines came in a close second with 517 observations recorded, which you can track on the Delta flight status page. American Airlines completes the top three with 320 observations recorded in the same period; its live overview is on the American Airlines flight status page.

Use these airline pages when you follow a carrier across several airports; for a single flight at BOS, the arrivals and departures pages linked above the radar remain the fastest route.

Airports near BOS

Boston Logan is not the only airport in the region. The closest field in our database is Laurence G Hanscom Field, 26 km from BOS. Two more airports sit at the same distance of 72 km from Logan: Worcester Regional Airport and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Both are considerably farther out than Hanscom Field, so check the distance before treating either as a quick alternative. If a flight does not appear on the Logan arrivals or departures page, or you want to look beyond the Boston area, continue on our airport overview.
