The Philadelphia International Airport is about to open a fourth runway for commuter and corporate airplanes in the northeast corner of the airport. The landing strip took 12 years to build and estimated costs of construction are pegged at $221 million. The new runway will increase the ability of the airport to handle landings and takeoffs by 5% and relieve air-traffic congestion.
