Philadelphia plans air freight complex expansion

City aviation officials for Philadelphia will invest $5.5 million to acquire fifteen acres of land from York-based Tinicum Realty Partners LP. The new acquisition sits adjacent to a 135-acre parcel, known as the “Henderson Tract” property, which the city acquired earlier this year for the cargo project. Once completed, the new cargo terminal will measure 1 million square feet, and feature a number of widebody aircraft parking stands.
