It’s amazing to see the number of private jets that use Logan to save their passengers a 25 minute drive from Concord.

Don't you mean Bedford? Hanscom is the big private airport.

Is that not a military airport?

Yes and no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanscom_Field is the non-military portion.

And they have a ton of private planes.

Concord? What airport are you referring to? Only thing I can think of out there is minuteman which is too small for most any Biz jets. Hanscom, Beverley, and Norwood are the prime non-Logan landing areas for biz jets. Hanscom especially.

When you’re flying at $5000/hr or more, a few hundred bucks in landing fees and an extra $1000-$2000 in parking fees is considered a small thing.

I was referring to Hanscom.

It’s not uncommon for some meetings to happen at the airport itself, especially ones that have directly connected hotels like Logan.

I get that. But there are hotels on 128 too. You don’t see the kind of private plane traffic at most major airports (I think, I know it’s easy to look it up, but let me just go on “feels” for this one. 😂)

Air Traffic Control is for the common people.
