Southwest Airlines has celebrated its new service at Boston Logan with a celebration including patriotic music of a Minuteman Marching band and a Town Crier who officially proclaimed the opening of Southwest's Logan service.
"Today is a great day for the people of Southwest Airlines as well as New England travellers," declared Southwest Airlines chairman, president and CEO Gary Kelly. "With our new service here at Logan, Southwest can fully serve the entire Boston area. Finally all Bostonians can experience our unmatched record in customer service, our low fares, and our legendary ontime service, all with the convenience of being located at Logan's Terminal E."
Southwest Airlines is now serving Boston travellers from Logan with ten daily nonstop flights – five daily nonstops to Chicago Midway and five daily nonstop flights to Baltimore/Washington International. In addition to these nonstop flights, Southwest's service out of Boston will offer direct or connecting service to 48 other destinations.
