Creating brighter, more modern spaces
Every journey through Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) deserves to begin in a space as vibrant and welcoming as the city itself. PHL is revitalizing more than 500,000 square feet of terminal space for a brighter, cleaner, and more comfortable experience for all who pass through.
Each update reflects PHL’s commitment to being a people-first airport — where travelers move confidently from curb to gate and employees work in spaces that reflect the pride, professionalism, and care they bring every day.
Through this transformation, PHL is building a stronger foundation for growth, improvement, and welcoming experiences for years to come.
New ceiling tiles, fresh paint, grid replacements, and upgraded diffusers make every space feel lighter and more comfortable.
Refreshed paint, new tiles, and updated trims bring a welcoming, clean look to corridors and concourses.
New carpet, tiles, walk-off mats, and refinished terrazzo add shine and durability that stand up to millions of steps each year.
Detailed cleaning of the BC Ticket Catwalk and F Security netting restores brightness and enhances the overall look and feel.
A closer look
From ticketing areas to hold rooms and concourses, this large-scale improvement effort is projected for completion in early 2026.
