Weekly Update

A Sign From Above – February 17, 2025

Last week, the first permanent signage on the roadway system leading to the new terminal was placed.

These signs truly make the new Pittsburgh International Airport feel less like a construction site and more like the destination that it will soon be, thanks to the hard work of all workers involved.

Please note that this may end up being pushed a week, per Jonathan. It is prepared and can run unless you hear otherwise from Jonathan, Jenny or myself

Making Travel Easier: Gates to Be Re-Numbered

As part of our airport opening later this year, our goal is to improve the passenger experience, and to align with industry best practices across the world, PIT will renumber our gates in the B, C, and D concourses. Concourse A gates will retain their current numbers, and all concourses will retain their A, B, C or D identification.

The renumbering is designed to improve the perception of distance from the core to gates and reduce complexity. PIT previously numbered gates across all four concourses sequentially – Gates A1 to D88. The higher gate numbers create a negative passenger perception, leaving an impression that gates are very far away, regardless of actual distance. The new cadence will number gates sequentially in each concourse, for example: Gates D76-D88 will change to D1-D7.

Construction starts in March and PIT’s renumbering will arrive in phases during April, as part of the ongoing transition to the new airport opening as scheduled in 2025.

More information will be provided in upcoming communications.
