Philadelphia International Airport targeting 2022 trans Atlantic travel rebound

28 June, 2021

Philadelphia International Airport director of air service development and cargo services Stephanie Wear said the airport is targeting a rebound in trans-Atlantic travel in 2022 (Routes Online, 25-Jun-2021). Ms Wear stated: "Border reopening in the EU came a little too late for this summer as US carriers have put their widebodies on routes they know are going to work, such a short haul to Mexico and the Caribbean... We need borders to open to get our trans-Atlantic programme back up and running, because part of our domestic capacity relies on the connecting traffic to our flights to Europe in the UK".
