USA. Airport developer MarketPlace Logan has introduced new technology and services for travellers at Boston Logan International Airport, along with enhanced safety measures.
Technology-led launches include in-airport food and delivery service AtYourGate and airport ecommerce platform Grab while Hudson has introduced a series of PPE vending machines.

These are available pre-security within Hudson stores pre-security in Terminals A and B.
“We have made every effort to adjust and improve the Boston Logan concessions programme to keep employees and passengers safe and healthy. In collaboration with our partners at Massport we have not only made necessary adjustments but also introduced new pilot programmes and technology to elevate the options available and further facilitate social distancing for our travellers. There is a variety of grab-and-go options throughout the airport, ordering to go through AtYourGate as well as sit down dining options allowing travellers to have a meal safely and feel comfortable doing so while passing through Boston Logan,” said Paul McGinn, President of MarketPlace Development.
