Connecting Pittsburgh Since 1931
90 Years of History
The Art Deco airport building looks more like a movie set (which it’s been more than once) than like Pennsylvania’s fifth-busiest airport (which it is).
Dedicated on Sept. 11, 1931, four years after Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight, the airport, located about 10 miles southeast of Downtown Pittsburgh in West Mifflin, Pa., is a timepiece in some respects. It has no mall, food court or long security lines, as it handles only noncommercial flights.
The airport was designed by Stanley Roush, whose other projects – Downtown Pittsburgh’s County Office Building and the Clemente, Carson and Warhol bridges – are a who’s who of Pittsburgh landmarks.
