Check Boston Logan Airport arrivals and upcoming BOS flights with our live Airport Command Center. See incoming flights, arrival activity for the next 30, 60 and 120 minutes, terminal activity, and current flight waves at Boston Logan International Airport.
Boston Logan Airport Arrivals and Flight Activity
The Boston Logan Airport Arrivals Command Center provides a quick way to monitor upcoming flight activity at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). The dashboard shows the next expected arrival, the number of flights scheduled to arrive during upcoming time periods, and how arrival traffic is distributed across Logan Airport terminals.
Instead of checking individual flights one at a time, you can use the dashboard to get a broader picture of current airport activity. This can be useful for travelers, people picking up passengers, rideshare drivers, transportation workers, and anyone interested in monitoring Boston Logan Airport arrivals.
How to Use the Boston Logan Flight Tracker
The live flight tracker automatically updates flight information throughout the day. At the top of the Airport Command Center, the next scheduled arrival is displayed along with its flight number, origin, terminal, and estimated time until arrival.
The dashboard also displays the number of upcoming arrivals during the next 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and two hours. This makes it easier to recognize periods when several aircraft are expected to arrive close together.
Boston Logan Airport Terminal Activity
Boston Logan International Airport operates passenger flights through Terminals A, B, C and E. The Terminal Activity section compares upcoming arrival activity between these terminals.
The activity bars provide a quick visual indication of where incoming flights are concentrated. Terminals with heavier upcoming activity display a stronger activity indicator, while terminals with fewer upcoming arrivals show lighter activity.
Understanding Incoming Flight Waves
Flights do not always arrive at a constant rate. At certain times, Boston Logan can have groups of aircraft arriving within a relatively short period. The Incoming Wave section helps identify these periods by showing upcoming flights and overall scheduled arrival activity.
The LIGHT, ACTIVE and BUSY indicators are based on upcoming flight activity. They provide a quick visual reference and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of airport congestion, passenger volume, road traffic conditions, or rideshare demand.
Boston Logan Airport Information for Rideshare Drivers
Airport flight activity can provide useful context for rideshare drivers because arriving aircraft may eventually generate passenger demand. However, the number of arriving flights does not directly represent the number of passengers requesting Uber, Lyft, taxis, or other transportation.
The Airport Command Center may also display manually recorded rideshare airport observations when available. These observations are separate from the live flight information and should not be considered official live Uber or Lyft data.
