And speaking about air traffic, any news about Asian airlines in Boston? Is Hainan still around or was it liquidated? And what is going on with CX?

I know KE is operating at least once a week, don't know if they're taking passengers or if it's cargo only.

KE is carrying pax. Though from what I’ve seen, it’s certainly not many. They do reasonably well on the cargo side though.
Overall the Asian carriers are still taking a beating. Most of the Euros got a decent holiday bump, sometimes almost filling flights. A rarity these days. But the Asian companies had no such luck.
As far as the others go...hard to update. We’ve started measuring how well the airline is doing by the date on the letters posted on their office door. Most still mention “a temporary flight stoppage due to the recent outbreak...”
I’ve seen some of the anticipated summer 21 schedules, and I think most airlines are a bit ambitious. But things change quickly so who knows. But unfortunately, the start of the summer season is a long ways out.

Does their website show twice-weekly flights from Boston to Belo Horizonte(CNF), Brazil beginning in March?
However, I don't know if these flights will get off the ground.

I drove through the airport today, it seems like the B-C connector is having metal stud wall erected currently.

Did the B to A connector ever get approved? Or just B-C?

B to A was on the list for future funding and construction before Covid under the 5 year capital plan which was approved. Not sure where they are at on that now. They certainly still want it, but I suspect it’s going to be longer until it arrives.

I’d say AA with a planned five daily BOS-LAX circuits fits that definition.

A month or two in advance, you say? Well, check March 17 and tell me what you see.

The March schedule isn’t done yet.

This is all about golfers. South Carolina is not warm enough to go to the beach in April.

There was planned to be one additional gate in that area, it started off being linked to C (C43) but I’ve also seen it classed as a B gate too, when B6 was planning to move up to 30 gates this needed to be one of them in use to make it all work. Now, not so much.

Looks like 4 gates - C40, C41, B42, B43.

Nope, only B43 is new. C40, C41 and the renumbered B42 (was C42) were already there. They were used previously by AS and SY primarily until they were vacated in the last round of movements where AS went to B and SY to E, they WILL form part of the connection effectively because that’s how it’s being built. Outside of E it was always a 4 gate expansion. 2 went into B when WN moved across from A. C43 as part of the connector and the final one was one slated to go around C20 and C21 for B6

Its wild to think how much the biz class products being offered for BOS-LHR will have changed post COVID. It's going to be a bloodbath as everyone competes for the returning business customers. Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
Likely to end up with:
B6 and their new Mint Offering
DL with their new 767-400 Delta One
UA with their high J 767 Polaris
BA with their new A350-1000 Suite
AA with their Flagship 777-200 or 787 product
VS with new upper class on their A350s or A330neos
On the economy front I'm hoping that B6 can fill the hole that will have been left by DY. While also potentially keeping pressure on the legacies to keep fares down.

When I watch that clip on the Massport “Logan Forward” site, it looks like a couple gates may be renumbered C23 & C24
