PHL Airport - Philadelphia International Flight Status
Philadelphia International Airport serves the city of Philadelphia in the United States and operates under the IATA code PHL and the ICAO code KPHL. PHL is the code travelers see on tickets and in airline apps; KPHL is the version used in flight plans and by air traffic control, and both point to this one airport. It sits at coordinates 39.8719, -75.2411. Our database classifies PHL as a large airport, and its traffic level in our data is average. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from PHL airport right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it carry the flight-by-flight detail, so the text below sticks to what our measurement data says about the airport itself: how much traffic we recorded, when it peaked, which airlines led the count, and which airports sit nearby.
What our 30-day measurement shows at PHL
The traffic picture on this page comes from our own reception measurement, not from a published schedule. Over a 30-day period, that measurement logged the aircraft our equipment picked up near Philadelphia International, and across the full window it recorded an average of 7.3 observations per day.
The busiest window in those 30 days ran from 00:00 to 02:00. That range is stated on our measurement clock, which runs in UTC rather than Philadelphia local time, so keep the clock in mind before you set the window next to your own plans.
Airlines in our PHL data
Two airlines appear in our 30-day measurement at Philadelphia International, and the balance between them is clear. American Airlines accounts for 94 observations over those 30 days, which makes it the most frequently measured carrier in our data for this airport. Frontier Airlines follows with 24 observations in the same period. Travelers flying either carrier can go a level deeper on this site through the American Airlines flight status and Frontier Airlines flight status pages.
Nearby airports and US coverage
PHL is not the only airport in its area that we cover. Wilmington Airport is the nearest alternative in our data, 38 kilometers from Philadelphia International, which makes it the first backup worth checking when plans change. Trenton Mercer Airport is the next option out at 58 kilometers from Philadelphia, and Atlantic City International Airport follows at 73 kilometers, the third and most distant alternative in our data. All three figures describe the distance between the airports themselves, not a door-to-door route.
Philadelphia International is one of the US airports we track; the airport overview is the place to find the rest.
