Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the only major airport serving the 6th largest
metropolitan area in the country. PHL and Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE) are owned and
operated by the City of Philadelphia. PNE is a general aviation and reliever airport.
The Airport is a self-sustaining operation that functions without the use of local tax dollars. PHL is
one of the largest economic engines in Pennsylvania. The airport generates more than $14.4 billion
in spending to the regional economy and generates more than 141,000 jobs within the region.
You Are Here. This is a 1,440 square-foot art glass installation on the wall above the shuttle
bus doors. It depicts a panoramic aerial view of the Philadelphia region with a red arrow
sweeping down to pinpoint the Airports location.
A ceiling pane shaped into a sweeping curve punctuated by 8 roof monitors filters natural
lighting to illuminate the Hub area.
The Hub has three metallic and aerodynamic shaped structural column covers, each 25 feet
tall, that anchor the ceiling at the bottom of its curve and convey a sense of lift as they soar
to their highest point of 35 feet and the view of the sky beyond.
A new canopy outside the shuttle bus doors shields passengers from the inclement weather.
The Hubs mezzanine, featuring a US Airways Club, crew lounges and employee facilities,
has nearly tripled in square footage to 22,000 square feet.
