   President Joe Biden is not pleased with the quality of American airports. No   
   US airport is in the top 25 best airports in the world. According to Biden,   
   that is not possible and that is why he is investing $ 25 billion in American   
   airports. Of that, 62 million will go to Boston Logan International Airport,   
   the president announced at that airport last week.   
       
   Passenger numbers at Boston Airport have quadrupled in fifty years. But   
   according to Biden, capacity has not increased at the same rate, which has not   
   benefited the quality of the airport. As examples, the president cited   
   overcrowded gates, long queues and many delayed flights, resulting in missed   
   transfers and lost luggage.   
       
   The traffic jams on the taxiways also cause unnecessary air pollution. "It's   
   frustrating, it's inconvenient and it's bad for the environment. And there is   
   simply no good reason for this. This is the United States, for God's sake. Is   
   this who we are? This shouldn't be the case. But we're finally going to do   
   something about it," Biden said during his airport speech.   
       
   With an investment of $62 million in Boston Logan Airport, 5,900 new jobs will   
   be created. As part of the investment, there will be more gates, baggage belts   
   and check-in counters. In addition, investments are being made in the   
   accessibility of the airport, including new lifts and wheelchair-accessible   
   buses. With a total of 25 billion dollars, comparable investments need to be   
   made at other American airports.
