August 15, 2025The airport manager is Christopher Willenborg. He replaces Sharon Williams, who now holds a different post at Massport. Vector fees are bogus. Do not pay those. Landing fees are high for non-based aircraft though not nearly as high as Logan. Fuel is pricey and this airport is not the most ga-friendly but consider that you can ride public transport to a world class city in an hour or so. Well, not on Sunday. There are not many airports where you can still do that. ATC great!
