Northeast Philadelphia Airport (IATA: PNE, ICAO: KPNE, FAA LID: PNE) is a public airport located just north of the intersection of Grant Avenue and Ashton Road in the Ashton-Woodenbridge neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. It is part of the Philadelphia Airport System along with Philadelphia International Airport, and is the general aviation reliever airport for Philadelphia International Airport. Northeast Philadelphia Airport is the sixth busiest airport in Pennsylvania. Services at the airport provided by two fixed base operators include fuel, major aircraft repair, hangar rental, aircraft rental and charter, flight instruction, and aircraft sales. Location
This airport covers 1,240 acres (5 km²), and is located on a site approximately bounded by Grant Avenue to the south, Academy Road to the east, Comly Road to the north, and the Roosevelt Boulevard (U.S. 1) to the west. The airport does not extend all the way to these boundaries, however. Development within these boundaries also includes the Internal Revenue Service Philadelphia Service Center, a Pepsi-Cola bottling plant, an industrial park with aviation-related businesses, and the headquarters of the 8 District of the Philadelphia Police Department. A TJ Maxx distribution center and an ice skating rink opened in 2001 on land leased from the airport.
When this airport was opened, the surrounding area was largely open farmland. Since that time, much growth has taken place in Northeast Philadelphia, and residential neighborhoods and businesses have developed close to the airport. Because of this development, pilots operating in proximity of the airport must observe noise abatement procedures.
History
The Northeast Philadelphia Airport had its origin in the 1930s, maybe in the late 20s, as the Northeast Airport, a grass field with no paved runways. It was one of three small airports in the area for private aviation. Just across Roosevelt Boulevard to the west, adjacent to Red Lion Road, was the Boulevard Airport, the most important of the three. Further west was the Somerton Airport, no longer in existence, close enough that pilots had to be careful not to infringe on adjacent traffic patterns. The site of the Boulevard Airport is now a shopping mall and housing. The Northeast Airport was the site for the development of the large airport that exists today. The United States Army Air Corps began construction of a 545 acre (2.2 km²) airbase in Northeast Philadelphia during World War II, but the project was never completed, and the property was turned over to the city in 1944. After the city finished the work, Philadelphia Northeast Airport opened in June 1945. In 1948, the name of the airport was changed to North Philadelphia Airport. The airport's infrastructure was expanded in 1960 when Runway 6/24 was extended to its present length. The name of the airport was changed once again in 1980, to the present Northeast Philadelphia Airport.
Facilities and aircraft
Northeast Philadelphia Airport covers an area of 1,150 acres (465 ha) at an elevation of 121 feet (37 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 6/24 measuring 7,000 by 150 feet (2,134 x 46 m) and 15/33 measuring 5,000 by 150 feet (1,524 x 46 m).
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the airport had 105,609 aircraft operations, an average of 289 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% military. At that time there were 203 aircraft based at this airport: 62% single-engine, 27% multi-engine, 6% jet and 5% helicopter.
