Private aircraft flying into Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS) will face parking restrictions starting next week. According to OpsGroup, prior permission required (PPR) obtained via Signature Aviation—the lone FBO on the field—will be required for all nonscheduled flights (Part 91 and 135) through the end of October due to congestion and ramp construction.
Operators are advised that Signature cannot accept PPR requests more than 30 days in advance of arrival, and if PPR is obtained the maximum stay on the ground at KBOS is two days. Daily overstay fees range from $220 for a piston single to $5,500 for a business jet. Aircraft departing up to four hours later than scheduled will be assessed an hourly rate based on aircraft class, with anything longer being charged the daily rate.
Authorities will be taking the matter seriously; arrivals without a PPR will have violation fees levied on a scale of $7,700 for a bizliner to $1,760 for a very light jet. Cancellation of a PPR reservation within 24 hours of scheduled arrival or simply failing to show up at the PPR arrival time will also incur penalties.
Drop-and-go operations will be permitted, with Hanscom Field (KBED) and Beverly Regional Airport (KBVY) providing repositioning options.
