Guests traveling through Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) will interact with several organizations during their visits, usually without even knowing it. The City of Philadelphia’s Department of Aviation owns and operates PHL, but there are hundreds of organizations working together with the Department of Aviation to serve our passengers.
So Who Does What at PHL?
In July, the Department of Aviation completed significant electrical upgrades on Taxiway L at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE).
Last year, the Department of Aviation’s Community Relations team relaunched a new School Tour Program to offer local students from elementary, high schools trade schools, organizations and universities, a behind-the-scenes look at Philadelphia International Airport's (PHL) daily operations and potential careers.
This year, the Department of Aviation's Capital Development Group is excited to welcome five talented Drexel University co-op students. As part of the airports’ ongoing partnership with Drexel, these undergraduate and graduate students are gaining invaluable experience in the aviation industry, while bringing their distinctive educational backgrounds and energy to the Department of Aviation team.
Read about the co-op students below to learn more about them, what they do, and their dream travel experiences.
