Chick-fil-A quietly landed a second location at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday, this time in Terminal E. The new stand joins the chain’s Terminal A spot that debuted last October and is targeted at the stream of international travelers moving through Logan. Airport and company officials say the Terminal E restaurant will run as a licensed location and is expected to bring roughly 60 new jobs to the airport.

The outlet reports that the Terminal E spot opened on Thursday, will operate as a licensed location, and will join the chain’s growing footprint across the Boston metro area.
On Chick-fil-A’s official location page, the Terminal E restaurant is listed as a “Licensed restaurant” operated by MBC Concessions, Inc., along with terminal details and operating hours. The listing confirms the restaurant sits inside Logan’s Terminal E and keeps the chain’s standard Monday through Saturday schedule, with the doors closed on Sundays, per Chick-fil-A.

Local officials pointed to those numbers as proof that travelers are more than happy to grab a familiar quick-service meal before boarding.
What travelers can expect
Terminal E serves as Logan’s primary international terminal, which puts the new Chick-fil-A right in the path of long-haul and connecting travelers, according to Massport. For passengers hustling to make a flight or coming off a red-eye, the added outpost means another recognizable grab-and-go option on the terminal side of security, including before and after customs and immigration…
