Knock‑on delays and longer taxi‑out times affected connections, while carriers increased day‑of‑ops re‑accommodation and tightened turn processes to contain disruptions. Airlines Serving PHL American Airlines (AA) maintains the largest presence at PHL, supported by a mix of U.S. legacy and low‑cost carriers and seasonal transatlantic operators. The hub structure prioritizes domestic connectivity across the Northeast, Midwest, and South, with summer long‑haul links complementing the network. Outlook Over the next 4–8 weeks, schedules at Philadelphia International Airport should remain broadly stable with departure OTP near current levels; late‑day convection and weekend peaks are the main risk windows.
