The state's largest employer group is urging businesses to weigh in on the next international destinations that Massport should target for nonstop flights from Boston.
With direct Boston- Beijing service set to begin in June, the Logan International Airport operator is soliciting business leaders' help in convincing airlines to start additional routes.
"The employer feedback really does make a difference," said Christopher Geehern, spokesman for Associated Industries of Massachusetts. "When Japan Airlines instituted the direct flights between Boston and Tokyo, they actually started that route before establishing routes in other larger cities because of the clear demand expressed by the business community in Massachusetts."
In addition to the 2012 Tokyo service launch, a prior Massport survey led to direct Boston air service to Panama City that started in July. Massport also signed deals for direct Dubai and Istanbul flights to start next year.
"Massport has relied on the political, business and civic communities to help land five new international routes in the last two years, and we continue to engage those groups to help us determine potential routes that will be most beneficial to growing the regional economy," Massport spokesman Richard Walsh said. "It is no secret that Israel, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Brazil are among the new nonstop destinations that have generated significant interest."
Mexico City and Milan also are at the top of businesses' list, Geehern said.
