Boston Logan Airport has chosen an HVAC pipefitter as the new voice that will welcome travelers. Massport, the agency that runs the airport, says the winner is Christopher “Chris” Donisi, who will be heard as part of the airport’s announcements.
Outlets across the US focus on the selection process and the personal story behind the winner. CBS News reports that more than 6,000 people auditioned, and highlights Donisi’s response to winning. The New York Times similarly centers on the scale of the competition and notes that a pipe fitter beat thousands of applicants. ABC News frames the story as a video feature introducing Donisi as the person behind the first voice arriving travelers will hear.
While most coverage is aligned on who was chosen and that the contest drew thousands of applicants, details like the reported location labels for Donisi and the specific show segment used for interviews vary by outlet. Overall, the story is presented as a human-interest competition result tied to the airport’s passenger experience.
