Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) marked a major milestone on Saturday, October 11, with the ribbon cutting at its new terminal – a US$1.7bn project designed to reflect the region’s identity and prepare the airport for the future.
The new terminal, which broke ground in 2021, is set to open to passengers later this autumn. The project was funded primarily by the airport’s airline partners, with no local tax dollars used.
The terminal, which was designed by Gensler + HDR, in association with Luis Vidal + Architects, incorporates architectural features inspired by the Pittsburgh region.
The terminal’s construction generated an estimated US$2.5bn in regional economic activity, creating over 14,300 jobs and US$1bn in direct labor income.
