Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania KPIT #47 US airport by passengers
West of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at 1000 Airport Boulevard, reached from I-376.
Pittsburgh International opened a new $1.7 billion landside terminal on November 18, 2025. It replaced the 1992 landside building and retired the underground people mover (tram) that used to carry passengers to the gates. Information on older websites that mentions the tram is out of date.
Today ticketing is on the top level and arrivals, baggage claim and ground transportation are below. After a single 12-lane security checkpoint, passengers walk across a Skybridge and tunnel into the center core of the existing airside building, where Concourses A, B, C and D meet.
The airside building was renovated alongside the new terminal. Because airline gate assignments can shift as that work continues, check your airline app or the flight status page before heading to a concourse.
Main airlines: American and Southwest carry the most passengers. The airport's airline directory also lists Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Alaska, Allegiant, Breeze, British Airways, Delta, Frontier, Icelandair, JetBlue, Southern Airways, Sun Country and United, plus vacation charter companies.
We are waiting for the next FAA update. Check your airline for the status of a specific flight.
