Colonial Pipeline completes Philadelphia International Airport connection

This connection to PHL is Colonial's eighth direct connection to a major airport along its 5500 mile system, meeting customers' evolving needs.

"Having a direct link to Colonial's Line 39 at Philadelphia International Airport is important for our airline partners," said Keith Brune, Interim Chief Executive Officer of PHL. "It will be extremely beneficial for the airport as we continue to experience post-pandemic air service growth and move forward with efforts to expand our cargo operations."

The direct connection is expected to improve logistics and be more economical because fuel no longer must be routed through multiple facilities and pipelines enroute to PHL. In addition to the new Line 39 supply route, PHL will still have Colonial's existing Line 45 route from Woodbury Junction in New Jersey, providing supply optionality and security.

"This new connection with Colonial allows PHL to maximse the value of many of the improvements they've made in the last few years," said Dan Gordon, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Colonial. "In addition to being a more efficient, economical link to Gulf Coast fuels, the alternative path enhances resilience for this vital airport."
