Pittsburgh International Airport is on the cusp of aviation history.
The new PIT is now 80 percent complete and set to open later this year. Unlike the current airport, the new PIT is designed for Pittsburgh origin and destination passengers, including features and services that match the needs of a growing and modernizing community. Pittsburgh travelers can expect improvements to the arrivals and departures levels, outdoor terraces, an updated baggage system and a connector bridge linking the revamped airside and new landside terminals.
