Massport opened a remote TSA terminal in Framingham on June 1, 2026 for Delta and JetBlue passengers.
The pilot charges $9 per shuttle ride and requires bookings 90 days in advance.
Travelers check in, drop bags, clear TSA, then board an hourly shuttle (4 a.m.–1 p.m.) that bypasses security.

Summary

Massport Launches Shuttle

Massport launched a pilot to ease post-pandemic congestion at Logan Airport.
Each Landline coach seats up to 55 passengers for a 45-minute ride, cutting private-vehicle traffic.
Officials say the service will lower carbon emissions by reducing cars traveling to the airport.
Industry analysts see the model as a cost-efficient alternative to terminal expansions, noting that aviation experts monitor its potential to ease capacity limits at hubs like Heathrow and Nairobi.

Summary

TSA Opens Remote

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) opened a remote screening terminal in Framingham, letting travelers clear security before boarding a shuttle.
Passengers voiced reactions, with Aline Goularte praising savings and Patricia Jackson worrying about who will conduct the screening.
JetBlue’s Daniel Blake stressed that TSA personnel will remain present at step to reassure about security integrity.
The pilot, funded by FY2019 appropriations, may expand to cruise terminals and Walt Disney World.

Summary

Massport Pilots Shuttle

Landline’s Framingham shuttle operates under the Logan Express brand, costs $9 one-way, offers free rides for children under 17, and gives no airline loyalty points.
Because the service partners with Massport rather than airlines, it offers no connection if a bus or flight is delayed.
Massport CEO Richard Davey said the pilot, the third hub after Chicago O’Hare and Philadelphia, aims to lower travelers’ anxiety and will start on a limited scale.
