Air Travel Rebounds at Boston's Logan Int'l

The airport appears to be on track to serve more than 27 million passengers by year's end for the first time in five years.


Logan's other closest rival, Manchester Airport in New Hampshire, has served 4 million passengers in the first 11 months of this year, compared with 3.7 million in all of last year and 3.2 million in 2000, said a spokesman, J. Brian O'Neill. US low-fare leader Southwest Airlines has served Manchester since June 1998 and Providence since October 1996, but not Logan, and has been a key driver of their passenger volume growth.
