    History

    A Legacy of Private Aviation

    NPE originated in the 1930s as Northeast Airport. Originally just a grass field with no paved runways, it was one of three small airports in the area and the most prominent of the three. During WW II, the US Army Air Corps began construction of a 545-acre air base at NPE. Unfortunately, the project was never completed, and the airport was turned over to the city in 1944. nonetheless, the city finished the work, end Philadelphia northeast airport opened in June 1945. in 1948, the airport was renamed North Philadelphia Airport. In 1960, the airport was expanded as Runway 6/24 was extended to its present length. Furthermore, Runway 10/28 was abandoned at this time. In 1980, the airport was once again renamed Northeast Philadelphia Airport. Starting in 1973, Ransome Airlines was servicing PNE as Allegheny commuter, a feeder for Allegheny Airlines. Ransome Airlines maintained its headquarters and maintenance facility at the airport. Its scheduled passenger operations came to an end during the PATCO strike of 1981, and Ransome was later sold to Pan American World Airways and then to Trans World Airlines (ending as Trans World Express). The maintenance base continued operations through the early 1990s, eventually shutting down in 1995.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about flying private to Philadelphia.

    Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.

    Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.

    Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.

    Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.

    A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.

    Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.

    Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.

    Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
