- In 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration introduced new flight paths and lower altitudes for jets departing on Logan Runway 33L.
- Air traffic is now concentrated into four narrow corridors, exposing a few sacrificial towns to a disproportionate share of persistent noise.
- As Logan increases early-morning and late-night flights, this situation is deteriorating into a crisis—disrupting lives, decreasing property values, and placing children’s health at risk from particulate pollution.
