15 U.S. Airports Workers Rally and Strike Demanding Better Working Conditions

Thousands of workers at 15 U

Boston Airport Express has continuously raised questions about the situation of staff at Logan Airport. There is a high shortage of staff at the Boston Logan Airport which the authorities have been unable to fill so far.

In support of better working conditions, thousands of employees at 15 American airports organized the action. “Airport workers like me and working people all across the economy are fed up,” said one of the rally organizers.

The demonstrations backed the “Good Jobs for Good Airports Act,” which Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced in June. The plan is for airport service workers to get a minimum hourly wage of $15, paid time off, holidays, good health care, and other benefits. It would be comparable to what is currently given to other federal contractors.

“Without us, nobody could visit their families over the holidays in safety. Although it makes me feel immensely proud to see passengers’ smiles, Montalvo said, “It comes at a huge cost when I can’t support my own family on poverty wages.”

Airport workers in Newark, O’Hare, and Logan went on strike to protest what they said were unfair working conditions at their direct employer, Swissport International AG.

The recent strike by airport car service workers is sure to have a big impact on car service transportation in and around airports. These workers provide a vital service, transporting passengers to and from the airport quickly and safely.
This could make it harder for passengers to get to and from the airport in a timely manner, leading to delays and inconvenience.

Numerous flights delayed and cancelled due to bad weather on the east coast.

BOSTON – There’s been numerous delays and cancellations in the vicinity of Logan Airport because of stormy conditions along the East Coast. The FAA requested an emergency ground flight stop at Logan Airport on Thursday evening.

The tarmac reminded me of that of the Southeast Expressway during rush hour. A passenger of Boston Airport Express who was on one of these planes shared this with us. He was coming to watch Thursday evening’s Celtics NBA Finals game but was stuck at the airport in New York as his flight was cancelled.

He said the tickets for Boston Celtics final game was quite costly and that he had managed two tickets with a lot of difficulty. “There is not much I can do about the flight cancellation”, and Mr Barner booked our car service from New York to Boston and reached Boston slightly late but enough to join the second quarter of the Game.
Within the terminals, the frustration was leaking out. The FAA had ordered an emergency ground stop for over an hour following severe weather that affected airports along the East Coast.

“I waited for 11 hours, before the flight finally took off” another passenger told me. “I was 12 hours off the schedule. But I guess it is better to be safe & late than risk the nature fury.”
In the United States More than 188,000 flight delays were reported while 3500 flights were cancelled.

In an announcement, Delta said, “Weather challenges at airports across the northeast today have caused congestion for both arrivals and departures at Boston Logan International Airport. We apologize to customers for any inconvenience as Delta teams work with ATC to get customers on their way as quickly and safely as possible.”

FlightAware estimates that about 10% of flights departing from Logan were cancelled, however an astonishing 34% had delays.
The travel troubles are a result of the executives of airlines meet with Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg to discuss how airlines can handle the busy summer season.

Logan Airport Introduces New Ride-Share Plan to JetBlue and Delta

Boston’s Logan International Airport is finally introducing the long-discussed ride-share pickup changes.

The changes will see the current Uber and Lyft pickup lots moving from specific areas near each terminal to a centralised location built inside the airport’s Central Parking Garage.

Passengers passing through Terminal A and C will see the difference first because of the two terminals serving both JetBlue and Delta.

Massport, on Friday, announced a timeline for when the switch will take place.

Starting Monday, October 28, passengers travelling through Terminal A and C, who are planning on using pickup services such as Uber or Lyft, will be picked up at Central Parking Garage.

Terminal A receives Delta and JetBlue, while Terminal C serves JetBlue, Aer Lingus, Silver Airways, Cape Air and TAP. 

From November 4, passengers arriving through Terminal B and E, If they plan on using Uber or Lyft, will be picked up at Central Parking Garage as well.

Terminal B serves American Airlines, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and Boutique Air, and Terminal E serves all international airlines and all international arrivals in addition to a handful of domestic flights.

On Monday, November 11, all ride-share drop-offs between a timeline of 4 a.m to 10 a.m will move from the upper-level departure curbs to lower level terminal curbs. 

On December 11, Logan Airport is also planning to move all ride-share drop-offs to the central Parking Garage, unless they are between 4 a.m to 10 a.m.

The Logan Airport officials pushed for the changes to alleviate the situation of traffic congestion during peak hours.

Logan Airport will soon be among top 10 busiest airports in the world

As JetBlue and Delta are fighting it off for the upper hand at Logan, it is on its way to becoming one of the most bustling airports in the country. The battle between the two airlines is not only helping Logan increase the number of new routes but also in becoming one of the top ten busiest airports in the country by 2022.

The average growth rate of airports in the United States is at 3 percent. However, Logan is marking a passenger rate growth of about 5 percent a year. That means millions of more travellers flying out of Logan.

Delta is expected to add 60 daily new flights out of Boston by 2021, which will increase the number of daily passengers to 10,500. JetBlue is also adding 40 new flights a day, increasing the number of daily customers to 5,100. JetBlue is expected to begin flights from Boston to London in 2021. Both the airlines combined will add around 5.7 million seats a year.

Currently, Boston ranks as the 15th busiest airport in the country, coming up from 17th busiest from 2015.
