Arlington, Mass. – A local pipefitter has been selected to become the next voice heard over the public‑address system at Boston Logan International Airport. Christopher Donisi, a married father of two who spends his days with a wrench in hand, won the airport’s “Voice of Logan” contest, beating out more than 6,000 applicants.
From the shop floor to the speaker system
Donisi, who has worked as a pipefitter for a decade, said the honor feels “amazing” and that he is “thrilled to be able to represent my city.” He appeared on Good Morning America to announce the victory, noting that his mother encouraged him to audition. “You have to follow your dreams, but you also have to follow your mother’s dreams,” he explained.
Keeping the day job
Despite the high‑profile role, Donisi emphasized that he will continue his work as a pipefitter. “This is my 10th time in front of a microphone, and it’s all been today. I usually have a wrench in my hands,” he said at a press briefing at Logan.
Massport’s endorsement
Massport CEO Richard Davey praised the selection, stating the agency “couldn’t be happier with the choice.” Donisi will begin recording holiday announcements next week, adding a fresh Boston accent to the airport’s daily greetings.
Ending a 25‑year era
Donisi’s voice will replace that of Joe LoGiudice, whose announcements have been heard by millions of travelers for nearly a quarter‑century. LoGiudice is not retiring from Massport; he will continue focusing on other duties at the airport, where he has served since graduating from Bridgewater State University in 1993.
Community pride
The contest was designed to find an authentic Boston accent that makes travelers feel at home. Local residents expressed pride in seeing one of their own represent the region’s largest gateway. Donisi said he hopes his new role will lead to “a good, long career” at Logan and inspire other hardworking families in the area.
