Philadelphia Airport Expansion Continues
Philadelphia International is serious about expanding its airport. The lengthening of two runways and the construction of another will make this facility one of the best and most up to date in the country. This will offer a tremendous competitive advantage to Philadelphia, although individuals acquired by eminent domain are at great risk.

A $5.2 billion expansion plan for Philadelphia International Airport over the next 12 to 15 years is designed to accommodate dramatic growth and help alleviate delays.
The proposal released by the Federal Aviation Administration, sifted from 29 options considered in 2000, would lengthen two of the airport's four runways and build a fifth runway along the Delaware, where UPS now operates.
