SEPTA’s Airport Line was established on April 28, 1985—which makes Monday, April 28, 2025 its 40th birthday!

The Airport Line runs every 30 minutes from 5AM to midnight on weekdays and weekends and stops at all major Philadelphia International Airport terminals. The platforms are high level making these stops ADA accessible as well as easier to board and alight with luggage.

Philadelphia is fortunate to have a rail line that connects directly to PHL terminals. Only a handful of major airports in the United States offer this service to its customers.

The Airport Line is also important for bringing employees to work—from Division of Aviation employees that live all over the city to flight crews and concessions staff. Driving is not possible for many of these folks. Having reliable public transportation makes working at the airport a viable option.

Philadelphia International Airport is less than thirty minutes from Center City by train. And the Airport Line connects to every Regional Rail line, the L, the B, the T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and dozens of SEPTA bus routes.
