Airport guide

Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) is a large airport in Philadelphia, PA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KPHL or IATA code PHL. It sits in North America.

Philadelphia International Airport has scheduled airline service, so private and charter flights share the field with airline traffic.

The longest runway measures 12,000 ft (3,658 m), typically long enough for large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets. Aircraft typically matched to a runway of this length include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. Actual runway requirements vary with aircraft weight, air temperature, field elevation, and runway condition.

Philadelphia International Airport sits near sea level at 36 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. With airline traffic on the field, private flights can see longer taxi times at busy periods, and ramp space can be limited around major events.

SkyAccess currently tracks 7 departing and 7 arriving private-jet legs at KPHL across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 aircraft from 12 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.
