About Philadelphia International

Philadelphia International Airport is a hub for American Airlines and a key gateway for the Northeast corridor. Its proximity to the Atlantic coastline means it experiences a full range of Northeast weather disruptions including nor'easters, fog, and summer convective storms. PHL has historically operated near capacity for its runway configuration, making it susceptible to volume-related delays when weather reduces its arrival rate even modestly.
