Logan Airport’s New Safety Net | Boston News

Logan Airport’s Runway 27 is getting a major safety upgrade with a new EMAS system — a crushable bed designed to stop planes that overshoot the runway. Construction begins August 31 and wraps before Thanksgiving, featuring a new deck extending over water (no runway extension). While this boosts safety — especially in tight spaces near water or mountains — it’ll reduce runway capacity, causing potential delays and increased air traffic nearby. Expect some noise and daytime-only work, but Massport assures minimal disruption as they prioritize passenger safety.
