The World Innovation Summit’s impact goes beyond PIT and showcases Pittsburgh’s role as a global innovation leader, directly supported by the airport’s work in the innovation space. For the third year in a row, Pittsburgh has attracted a global summit with some of the most innovative leaders in aviation and technology.

As part of the FTE World Innovation Summit, PIT offered tours to the local media guided by ACAA senior leadership. The tours attracted 10 news outlets that provided attendees a closer look at how the airport’s transformation is shaping the future of travel.

The tours showcased, among many areas, the connection between the existing airport facilities and the new terminal—one of those elements being the purpose-built Fort Pitt Tunnel experience. The Sky Bridge will connect passengers from the new terminal’s security checkpoint to the airport’s center core. The result of a design solution that allows the PIT train system to continue operating for passengers during construction on the project, the Sky Bridge is just one representation of how PIT has is successfully transforming its facilities while maintaining routine airport operations.
