The City of Philadelphia department of aviation has named Ty Peterson its next director of terminal concessions for both Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE). Prior to joining the department of aviation, Peterson served as assistant general manager of operations for ASUR Airports LLC at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and worked in positions with Pacific Retail Capital Partners and Simon Property Group. Peterson earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Pace University.
“Joining the PHL team is an exciting next step in my career,” said Peterson. “I’m looking forward to learning from the team, building strong relationships across the airport, and bringing my own experience and perspective to the work. What excites me most is the opportunity to help shape a concessions program that strengthens the passenger experience, supports our business partners, and contributes meaningfully to PHL’s continued growth. I’m eager to build on the strong foundation already in place and help position the program for its next chapter.”
