The building had been designed with a flat roof with underfloor heating to prevent snow and ice.

The main pilot was Johnny Miller. The contract ended a year later, with 2,634 flights completed, representing 85% of all scheduled flights – a very impressive statistic for the time. However, the contract was not renewed.The facility closed on September 29, 2008 when main distribution center activities moved to a new facility adjacent to the Philadelphia International Airport.

The Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) is an agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that manages many parking operations for Philadelphia. The PPA was created by the Philadelphia City Council on January 11, 1950, for the purpose of conducting research for management of off-street parking and to establish a permanent, coordinated system of parking facilities in the city. Since then, the PPA's scope has expanded to include parking operations at the Philadelphia International Airport, most street-parking policy enforcement, and regulation and enforcement of taxicabs and limousines.The PPA's status as an agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania rather than the City of Philadelphia allows for the Republican-controlled state authorities to offer patronage positions in the largely Democratic city. The former board chairman Joseph Ashedale has over 10 family members on the agency's payroll. An audit found the former PPA's director, former Republican state representative Scott Petri, did not meet the minimum qualifications of the job description and his $210,000 salary was above comparable positions in other cities.The Parking Authority: Generates needed revenue for the city Coordinates the parking efforts of public agencies Builds and operates public parking facilities Does planning and analysis of parking requirementsto provide full parking services for Philadelphia residents, businesses and visitors.In popular culture it is the basis of the reality television show Parking Wars.
