 Hear that? That's the sound of one of the many snowplows along with other snow removal equipment shown during a readiness drill at Logan International Airport in Boston. These machines and more are at hand ready to go to work at a moment's notice to keep the runways and the areas surrounding it safe and in operating condition. Logan International Airport, which is located directly across the water here behind me had approximately 354,000 flights last year and that's according to the monthly airport traffic summary from January through December 2012. This year through September, Logan has already seen 273,000 flights travel through the airport and his winter is quickly approaching. It's the job of Edward Ferrini, the director of aviation at Logan and the crew that works under him to keep the runways safe and clear. Ferrini says that Logan employs some of the best operators and equipment in the area and along with the many awards that have been won, Logan will be ready to handle anything that is thrown at them. State of the art, the best equipment in the system, best operators in the system, well trained, ready to go. We're award winning, we've won four Falcon post awards in the last eight years, which is a coveted award, awarded to large airports that have the best snow removal program in the system and we're proud of that and we're proud of the operators. Ferrini also says that with their state of the art equipment and machines, they are able to clear a runway within 10 minutes and most importantly, we'll be ready to go whenever and wherever winter weather strikes.
