Airport Voice

Massport's choice to let the public help pick the Voice of Logan Airport puts a community-selected person behind the announcements that travelers hear in the terminals. The contest moves the airport's audio identity toward a local, recognizable voice rather than an anonymous recording.

Travelers passing through Logan Airport will hear Donisi's voice on terminal announcements once the new role takes effect. The change affects what passengers hear in the terminals but does not change flight schedules, fares, or airport services.
