Massport Strategic Plan

Worcester airport is a critical
part of the state’s airport
system and will play a central
role in this vision. In addition
to Massport’s three airports,
Massachusetts has 34 other, public
use airports that accommodate
a wide range of aviation needs
from scheduled commercial
service to general aviation and
military operations. With the
advent of eVTOL technology
and innovative concepts such
as remote terminals, there is an
opportunity to better integrate
these airports and advance the
regionalization strategy that has
proven successful over the years.
By working with local partners,
Worcester Airport can serve
as a key node in a statewide
network designed to meet
evolving aviation needs, pilot
new technologies, and reduce
dependence on Boston Logan.
This approach positions Worcester
as a hub for innovation while
strengthening connectivity across
the Commonwealth.
Finally, as with Logan, while we
make bold and innovative moves
at Worcester Regional Airport,
we cannot lose sight of critical
business continuity projects
that keep our operations running
smoothly. We must execute
ongoing and new necessary
upgrades to remain safe, resilient,
and efficient. At Worcester
Regional Airport, this includes
taxiway rehabilitation, jet bridge
improvements, roadway and
parking lot maintenance, and more.
