The Transformed PIT has arrived. Explore the future of air travel on this virtual tour, where you can discover key parts of the new PIT terminal, parking garage and airside modernizations, all inspired by the Pittsburgh region:
Skybridge: Meant to embody the entryway to Pittsburgh – the Skybridge connects passengers from the new terminal to the gates, shopping and restaurants.
Welcome Point: A space built for the Pittsburgh community to park and wait inside of PIT for friends, colleagues or loved ones arriving at the airport. This open, welcoming and comfortable space features concessions, green terrace access and seating.
North and South Inclines (Escalators): The new PIT terminal features inclines that carry passengers from the first to the third level of the building, bypassing the second floor and making for an overall quicker journey through the airport.
Impact
As the Pittsburgh region continues to redefine itself, the Allegheny County Airport Authority has transformed PIT to meet the challenges of tomorrow, better serve the community and advance the region’s role as a world leader. Our future is intrinsically tied to the prosperity of the passengers and the community we serve. An airport modernized for today and designed for tomorrow also reduces its operational costs—and a smarter, more cost-efficient airport will create a ripple effect of opportunity. Building the new PIT has been an economic jet engine, creating thousands of jobs and generating billions of dollars for the Western Pennsylvania economy—and its impact will continue for years:
14,300 jobs created
$2.5B in economic activity
$1B in direct labor income
