PHL Hopes That Bonds Get Approved

Roger Yu of USA Today reports in his weekly "Airport Check-In" column that Philadelphia Airport is hoping that the city council will approve the issuance of $535 million worth of bonds to pay for airport renovations.

A big chunk of that cash will be dedicated to improving Terminal F, used for US Airways Express flights. The terminal will be expanded and add new waiting areas along with new retail space.

Terminal F is really important for Philadelphia as there are actually more US Airways Express flights flying out of the airport than US Airways mainline flights. A good portion of the Express flying done by Embraer E-Jets is handled out of Terminals B and C, since they're more like mainline aircraft, but for the 50-seaters F gets the job done. In fact, I'd argue it's one of the nicest regional terminals out there.

Other projects include a runway resurfacing, and improved signage.
