PHL Airport Code: Philadelphia Airport IATA & ICAO

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is stored for Philadelphia, United States. ICAO KPHL. Timezone America/New_York. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

PHL is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Philadelphia International Airport in Philadelphia, United States (US). The matching ICAO identifier is KPHL. Travel agents see PHL on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example PHLLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO KPHL is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is America/New_York. This code page explains how PHL is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for United States: JFK (New York), EWR (Newark), LGA (New York), LAX (Los Angeles), SFO (San Francisco). Related IATA city code in this dataset: PHL. To turn a booked PNR that contains PHL into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for PHL.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 PHLLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read PHL as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If PHL is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
