Capacity Enhancement Program
On December 30, 2010 a 13-year $5.2 billion project that will extend two existing runways, and add one new runway was passed by the FAA. The project will also create two new passenger terminals, the first terminal will be built where terminals A east & west, B, C, D, E, and F are currently located, and the second terminal will be built across from the current terminal complex. The project will also relocate the UPS facility, and redevelop cargo city, the cargo complex at PHL.

Famous quotes containing the words capacity and/or program:
“Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“At Hayes’ General Store, west of the cemetery, hangs an old army rifle, used by a discouraged Civil War veteran to end his earthly troubles. The grocer took the rifle as payment ‘on account.’”
—Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
