The landing fee at Logan is $3.89 per 1,000 lbs. of aircraft weight. That translates to about $470 for a 737-300, about $1,550 for a 767. The difference between this and the fee at an alternate airport is obviously a fraction of these amounts: small potatoes in the overall scheme of things. Marketing considerations, such as but not limited to competition, make a much bigger difference.
