LUV is in the air at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)! Southwest Airlines joined Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter and other dignitaries today at a ribbon cutting ceremony officially opening Southwest's new home in Terminal E at PHL. The recently completed $45 million Terminal E Expansion features seven new aircraft gates, a 500-seat holding area, new restrooms, a mini-food court with new concessions, and a fantastic new piece of permanent artwork installed as part of the City's Percent for Art Program.
"This new facility, that now allows us to operate out of one concourse, is a wonderful example of both Southwest Airlines and the City of Philadelphia working together in a public-private partnership to enhance air travel for the entire City," stated Bob Montgomery, Southwest Airlines Vice President of Properties. "I know all of our hard-working Southwest Employees here in Philadelphia can't wait to continue providing our legendary Customer Service from our new home in Terminal E."
During the ceremony, Montgomery also announced a new destination for Philadelphians. Beginning June 27, 2010, the carrier is starting new service between Philadelphia and Boston Logan (BOS).
