PARKING, PARKING, AND MORE PARKING

We are now back in the employee lots. The large lot on Bartram Avenue started off to a rocky start. Beginning July 12th, the buses will be back to a pre-COVID schedule. They will be using the PHL branded buses with luggage racks, and the buses will run about every 10-15 minutes. More of the lot will be opened if needed.

The Cargo City lot is open, and buses will run every 30 minutes beginning July 12th. We do not know how long they will continue to allow employees to park at International Plaza.

PIT COMMUTER PARKING

If you are a PIT commuter or satellite flyer, you should have received an email from the Allegheny County Airport Authority to apply for parking. Everyone has to reapply for a parking pass.

If you didn’t receive an email or you have questions, email: [email protected].

AUGUST PBS BIDDING ADJUSTMENTS

We reported out that the line average would be 80.3 before PBS opening in our allocations brief. A few days ago, AA notified us that PBS would be opening with a 79.48 line average due to a reduction of flying. The MCO and LAS turns on the 787 scheduled to operate August 4th-16th have been removed.

If you have questions about bidding, reach out to PHL BCR John Pratt at [email protected], or 302-396-9434.

CONTACT INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

We still maintain an office close to the airport. The office number is 215-360-3115. Someone is available Monday through Friday in PHL. We are always available by phone, email, or text.

APFA Live Chat is also available by clicking the orange icon at the bottom right hand corner of the APFA.org homepage.
