Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) has reached the 80 percent completion mark and has announced that it is set to open in 2025. PIT aims to transform travel by undergoing an ambitious, airport-wide modernization to better meet the needs of a region on the rise. The new Pittsburgh International Airport features a passenger-first design that reflects the values of a modern Pittsburgh region and yields a seamless, smarter and more welcoming curb-to-gate experience.
Inside the terminal, crews have been hard at work, marking key developments. The first escalators were installed, the state-of-the-art baggage system was tested for the first time, and the first ceiling tiles were placed—each a vital step toward creating a modern, efficient travel experience. The building also saw the unveiling of the constellation lights that will illuminate the terminal. On the exterior, the terminal began to take its striking form as workers installed the final curtainwall glass. This glass façade, with its expansive windows, will transform the terminal into a massive observation deck, offering travelers sweeping views of the runway and surrounding landscape. This design, which emphasizes openness and connection to the outdoors, reflects the airport’s commitment to creating a welcoming, world-class environment.
