Boston – Massport revealed on Thursday that Christopher Donisi, a Burlington resident, won the agency’s “Voice of Logan” competition. The contest, which invited residents across Massachusetts to audition for the role, attracted more than 6,000 participants and over 35,000 public votes.
How the winner was selected
Public voting ran from Oct. 24 through Oct. 28, and judges said they were looking for a voice that is clear, authentic and captures the distinctive Boston vibe. Donisi’s audition described him as a “home‑grown Boston guy, born just outside the city in East Arlington,” and his enthusiastic delivery resonated with voters.
What the new voice will do
Beginning in mid‑November, Donisi’s recordings will be used for airport announcements heard by millions of travelers each year. Massport CEO Rich Davey told KISS 108 that the agency is “so excited to welcome you to be the welcoming voice at Boston Logan.” Donisi expressed his excitement, saying, “Oh my goodness! I am just so shocked… I can’t wait. Let’s go Boston!”
Community response
The competition generated a strong response from across the Commonwealth, with unofficial submissions from Boston Bruins players, actor Ben Affleck and other local personalities. The public’s enthusiasm underscores how deeply Boston residents care about the airport’s role as a gateway to the region.
Next steps
Massport will officially introduce Donisi at an 11 a.m. press conference at Logan Airport on Thursday. After the ceremony, his voice will be rolled out across the terminal’s PA system, greeting travelers with a familiar, hometown tone.
Why this matters locally
Logan International Airport is a critical economic engine for the Boston area, handling more than 40 million passengers annually. A recognizable, locally rooted voice helps reinforce the airport’s connection to the community it serves, aligning with Massport’s goal of making the travel experience feel more personal and welcoming.
Donisi’s win also highlights the power of community participation in shaping public‑sector initiatives. By giving residents a direct say in who represents the airport’s voice, Massport demonstrated a commitment to transparency and local engagement—principles that resonate with families and faith‑based communities throughout the region.
