Boston Aviation

Massport has released statistics for 2018, which proved to be a record year for Boston in many ways. In 2018 Logan Airport had 40,941,925 passengers compared to 38,412,419 passengers in 2017. This represents a 6.6% increase in passengers from 2017. It is amazing to think that Boston eclipsed 40 million passengers considering the airport hit 30 million passengers in 2013. Of the 40.9 million passengers, 7,583,887 passengers were on international flights compared to 7,199,595 passengers in 2017. This represents a 5.3% growth in international passengers in a year. This also means that international passengers represented 18.5% of travelers from Boston Logan Airport. The growth that Boston has achieved is truly incredible, hopefully there is more to come!

It is official! Royal Air Maroc will add service to Boston. Beginning June 22, 2019, Royal Air Maroc, Morocco's flag carrier airline, will fly three times weekly on a Boeing 787-8. The flights will depart Casablanca at 17:05 local time and will arrive in Boston at 19:30 local time. The return flight will depart Boston at 21:15, local time, and will arrive in Casablanca at 08:50, local time, the next day. The flight will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays until October 1, 2019, when they will begin flying the route Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. This is Boston's second non-stop flight to Africa, however, the TACV flight to Praia, Cape Verde is only once weekly and offers very limited connection opportunities. Due to Royal Air Maroc's extensive destinations map in Africa, this will be one of the best ways to find connections to other parts of the continent. Congratulations and good luck to Royal Air Maroc on their new route to Boston! Source:  www.routesonline
