History & Context

Philadelphia International Airport History The Philadelphia International Airport is one of the largest airports on the East Coast of the United States and serves as the primary airport for the city of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley region. Here's a brief overview of the airport's history: The airport was originally called the Philadelphia Municipal Airport and opened in 1925. It was located in what is now Eastwick, a neighborhood in Southwest Philadelphia. In 1940, the airport was renamed Philadelphia International Airport and became a hub for Trans World Airlines (TWA). It was during this time that the airport's iconic control tower, designed by architect William Pereira, was built. In the 1950s and 1960s, the airport underwent significant expansion and modernization. New terminals and runways were built, and international flights began operating out of the airport.
