Overview |
In addition to the right location, Philadelphia International
Airport has all the right facilities to handle cargo aircraft and keep cargo
moving: Around the clock operations; steady growth in cargo lift; long 10,499
and 9,500-foot runways; two commuter runways; major airport capacity
enhancements for the 21st century.
Philadelphia
International Airport's access to major interstate highways running in all
directions is unsurpassed. It is located right next to I-95, running from Maine
to Florida, and within a few minutes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and
the New Jersey Turnpike. Greater Philadelphia, the nation's 6th largest
metropolitan area, is a great place to locate air cargo-related
businesses.
