Philadelphia International Airport Capacity Enhancement Program
What's New
Record of Decision Published

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has completed its Record of Decision (ROD) on the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the proposed Capacity Enhancement Program (CEP) at the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Click here to access the ROD »

The ROD presents the FAA's final determinations and environmental approvals for the federal actions necessary to implement the CEP. The FEIS assessed the potential impact of two build alternatives for the proposed CEP, as well as the "No-Action Alternative" of not constructing these improvements.

The FAA selected Alternative A, the preferred alternative, for implementation because it best meets the purpose and need for improvements at PHL. The Project includes the following: extend Runway 8-26 to the east, extend Runway 9R-27L to the east and add a fourth parallel east-west runway. The Project will also reconstruct and enlarge the terminal complex, increasing it from 120 to approximately 150 gates. Impacts associated with the Project and mitigation measures to address these impacts are outlined in the ROD. FAA received comments on the FEIS. Although not required, FAA prepared responses to substantive comments which can be found in Attachment A of the ROD.

The FAA contact for the CEP EIS is Susan McDonald. Everyone on the EIS mailing list has been notified of the release of the ROD. The ROD is available on this website here, on the FAA ROD website, and will be made available shortly at the following public libraries:
