Transportation

Many major airlines fly directly to Pennsylvania through its two international airports: Pittsburgh International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport (PHI). Both airports serve over 41 million passengers annually, twenty-five airlines, including all major domestic carriers, and offer nearly 500 daily departures to more than 140 destinations worldwide. Pennsylvania is also home to many regional and smaller airports that serve flights to and from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and other major US airports.

Once in Pennsylvania, you can find safe and reliable ground transportation options (rail and bus) that can take you anywhere you want to go in the state. And, Amtrak’s Philadelphia station serves as a major gateway to New York, Baltimore, Washington, DC, the Northeast region, and beyond.
