Having travelled through this airport recently, this would be a fantastic pick for a playable airport, lots to do, lots of traffic, from massive aircraft to tiny ones, freight and passenger ops, all big 3 legacy airlines have a presence as did the other 3 pre 2010 such as Continental, Northwest and US Airways. Could be a really cool spot and likely could spend hours on this due to its complexity. Only issue is its close proximity to IAD.

Unlike a lot of airports suggested and ones in-game, nothing major to the airport seems to be in the planning, mainly internal terminal things and traffic access improvements.

This is one of, if not my, my favorite airport that I’ve flown through in the US. For the game, its 6 runways, all in a quite small footprint would make for extremely dynamic wind based operations too, with 4 different operational layouts, all featuring a crossing runway.

Exactly. So many different options. An absolute pain for the devs to make but I can’t see it being massively taxing to older devices and a massive amount of fun for players. I’ve only been through it twice but I thought it was fantastic. Much more interesting than JFK which I went through later. Would be nice to see with Cape Air and the Cessna 208 for FedEx as those mixed with Lufty and BA A380s would make for a fantastic mix of types.

This would also be a great excuse to get Cape Air’s fleet into the game as well as more tiny planes. Cessna 402s, Tecnam P2012s, and BN Islanders all service BOS with this airline. They have a really nice special livery as well. There’s not many unique regional carriers like this left in the US, so something worth drawing attention to (also, who wouldn’t love to screen grab a tiny Cessna or BNI right next to a hulking B744 or bA A380!?).
