Massport Names Christopher Donisi the First Voice of Logan

Christopher Donisi, an HVAC pipefitter from Burlington, was named the first official “Voice of Logan” on Thursday, November 5, 2026, ending a monthslong contest by the Massachusetts Port Authority to find a signature sound for the airport.

A Pipefitter With Pipes

Massport CEO Richard Davey announced the selection live on Kiss 108’s Billy and Lisa in the Morning Show. Donisi, 43, who grew up in East Arlington, was chosen from a pool of more than 6,000 applicants. The contest, which launched in September, required contestants to read a script featuring local touchstones, including the Green Monster, North End cannoli, and Gloucester sea air.

Davey, who dubbed the winner a pipefitter with pipes, noted that the roughly 43 million passengers who travel through Logan Airport annually will know exactly where they have landed the moment they hear him. While Donisi is stepping into a role previously held by anonymous voices or public officials—most notably Joe LoGiudice, who has recorded airport announcements for nearly 25 years—he confirmed he intends to keep his day job. LoGiudice, who began his career at the airport after graduating from Bridgewater State University in 1993, will not retire but will continue to focus on his other ongoing responsibilities at the facility.

I don’t think I honestly deserve anything but I just know this city and its roots and how the people move and flow around here. And everyone has always told me to do voice work so when I seen this I said what a perfect opportunity to give it a shot and how perfect it would be in my home town at Logan.

Public Votes Narrow Entries to Eight Finalists

The competition narrowed the thousands of initial entries down to eight finalists, including Kristin Ingala, a bartender at the Chatham Squire from South Dennis, and Meagan Lewis-Michelson, a Harvard graduate and Everett native. The public cast approximately 35,000 votes between October 24 and October 28 to determine the winner. Donisi’s audition video, which Massport posted to its contest website, helped him secure the title.

Donisi noted that people have been telling him to pursue voice work since he was 11 or 12 years old. He also shared his favorite local phrase, referencing the film Good Will Hunting by asking, How do you like them apples?

Donisi credited his mother with encouraging him to participate, noting that she found the competition on a whim. You always gotta follow your dreams, but you also gotta follow your mother's dreams, he told radio hosts Billy Costa and Lisa Donovan. Beyond the local excitement, the contest gained national attention. Other notable, though unofficial, entries included submissions from Bruins players and Julian Edelman and Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski.

Winner Anticipates Long Career Representing the Airport

Donisi, who is married with two children, expressed excitement about his new responsibility during a press conference at the airport. 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 told reporters. He anticipates a long career representing the airport, noting that his four-year-old daughter was particularly excited to see him on television, and he is eager to see the surprised faces of travelers who hear his voice while walking through the terminals.

Reflecting on the unique character of the area, Donisi noted that the Boston accent is not monolithic. It varies in different areas of the state. It's unique in that way because every neighborhood, you know, puts its own little sprinkle on it, he said. The agency, which hopes the new voice will provide a welcoming and authentic first impression to visitors, indicated that the contest was a success and suggested that other airports may attempt to replicate the search for a local voice in the future.
