Airport Overview Continued:

PHF is currently served by two airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines with non-stop service to Atlanta, Charlotte and Philadelphia. Last year the Airport served just over 411,000 passengers.

The Airport boasts a modern terminal, with two concourses and the recent completion of a new security checkpoint, which ties Concourses A and B together, promoting greater operational efficiencies.

The lower level of Concourse A houses a state-of-the-art U.S. Customs Facility, making PHF an official United States port of entry, with the ability to process up to 250 passengers per hour.

In addition, the Airport recently opened a new, Airport owned and operated restaurant called Take PHFlight. The restaurant offers a delicious assortment of hot and cold menu items. A full bar is anticipated to open later this year.
