Which airport for Thermo Fisher Scientific

Logan (BOS) ~30 min · car recommended. One airport — Boston Logan (BOS), across the harbor from downtown. The free Silver Line bus runs to South Station, and the Blue Line (via a shuttle) into the core, so a downtown, Seaport, or Cambridge trip rarely needs a car.

The ground reality in Boston

Logan is unusually close and transit-connected: the Silver Line (SL1) runs free to South Station and the Seaport, and the Blue Line into downtown, where it meets the rest of the T — including the Red Line to Cambridge.
