Additionally, the airline will hold the lease on the "C" concourse operation tower allowing for improved operations and communications. Warren R. Wilkinson, director of marketing & sales, commented on the expansion, "This expansion and renovation is the product of a year's negotiation with Massport to improve our passenger facilities. The airline has operated at Logan International Airport for over 10 years and historically operated approximately 90 percent of its flights from a remote operation, which required bussing to and from the aircraft. This expansion and renovation will allow us to operate over 80 percent of our 158 daily departures from our new facility reducing the need for bussing to only our international flights that must transit customs. As Boston's largest airline, it is important that Business Express Airlines offer the passenger facilities and conveniences that travelers in the Northeast expect and demand. This new facility will allow us to meet those demands well into the future." Business Express Airlines offers over 500 daily departures out of its three hubs at Boston's Logan International Airport and New York's John F. Kennedy "John Kennedy" and "JFK" redirect here.
