About Atlantic Aviation

Atlantic Aviation at Northeast Philadelphia Airport serves as a major general aviation hub for the Philadelphia metropolitan area, positioned about 13 miles north of Center City in the city's Far Northeast neighborhood. The facility offers 30,000 square feet of hangar space, a pilot lounge, snooze room, and shower facilities for crews on layover. The 7,000-foot primary runway handles most business jet types up to super-midsize category, and the airport's general-aviation-only status means no competition with commercial airline traffic for runway time. For charter passengers, Northeast Philadelphia offers a calmer, more predictable experience than Philadelphia International, which combines heavy airline operations with its private aviation services. The drive from the Atlantic terminal to Center City takes roughly 25 minutes, with easy access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-95. Passengers heading to Bucks County, Montgomery County, or Burlington County in southern New Jersey may find PNE significantly more convenient than PHL. The FBO provides fueling, ground handling, maintenance support, and the full range of services expected from the Atlantic brand. Atlantic Gateway, the company's digital platform, allows passengers and flight departments to request services and monitor real-time status updates from any device. Staff assists with ground transportation, catering coordination, and local arrangements. Northeast Philadelphia is one of several airports in the greater Philadelphia area, alongside PHL, Wings Field in Blue Bell, and Brandywine Airport to the west. PNE's advantage lies in its combination of adequate runway length, proximity to both the city center and the northern suburbs, and Atlantic's professional service standards. For passengers whose trip takes them to the northeast corridor of the metro area, this facility avoids the congestion and complexity of PHL.
