When the public is ready to fly again, travelers will encounter a new airport experience, from the time they enter the building until boarding their planes.

Philadelphia Music Ambassador Chill Moody will represent Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) in the JetStream Music Festival, an online celebration of music between 23 North American airports, to be held on Wednesday, May 6 at 6 p.m. EDT. The stream will take place on Facebook Live and will feature performances from musicians representing each city.

The PHL/PNE Capital Development team is constantly in the process of modernizing the airport complexes to meet the evolving needs of travelers and remain world-class facilities. So, what is the team’s role now that PHL and PNE are experiencing reduced passenger traffic?

The COVID-19 crisis has changed the way work is done at Philadelphia International Airport and Northeast Philadelphia Airport, but the 21,000 employees of PHL & PNE continue supporting their passengers, their families, and each other.

Thank you to our partners at the following organizations for participating in this video: 

Welcome to the New Employee Newsletter:

Welcome to the first digital version of the PHL/PNE employee newsletter.

For one night only, 23 airports across North America will come together for the JetStream Music Festival, an online celebration of local music. Hosted by Austin-Bergstrom International Airport from the “Live Music Capital of the World” in Austin, Texas, the free, multi-hour livestream will take place at 6 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 6 on participating airports’ Facebook Live. Each airport will feature a musician local to their city in support of the creative community during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, and the Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds, will honor frontline COVID-19 responders and essential workers with formation flights over New York City, Newark, Trenton and Philadelphia on Tuesday, April 28.

Leadership during crisis requires navigating challenges with courage and transparency. PHL CEO Chellie Cameron shares her thoughts on PHL and PNE's pre-recovery activities, the CARES Act, and a new interview series that will begin in May. 

The loss of jobs and school closures caused by COVID-19 means even more residents of the Greater Philadelphia region are facing food insecurity and turning to Philabundance, one of the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organizations, for assistance. A program established by MarketPlace and PHL Food & Shops in March 2019 is needed more than ever.

PHL entered 2020 on a high, having welcomed a record number of passengers in 2019 and anticipating continued growth and the launch of new routes by airline partners in the new year.  What a difference just a few months make.
