2 system: A (2005) och B (2006, ersatt bade 2012 och 2014 enligt 2016: 'Boston Logan, Boston, MA, 2, 2005/2006(2012)(2014)'). Matchar var egen tidigare research (bana 33L/15R ombyggd till EMASMAX 2013 - nara nog samma tidsfonster). Ett tredje, helt nytt system under byggnation pa bana 27 (kant sedan tidigare) ligger efter bada dessa fact sheets.
