A Letter to the
People of Pittsburgh.
Welcome to an airport built just for you.
Dear Neighbors,
Safely and securely connecting people to places is the basic job of an airport. It’s no small task—especially this time of year, as millions travel and gather for the holidays. When this job is done well, it’s worth celebrating. But at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), our vision of what an airport can be and do goes much further.
Just as Pittsburgh transformed itself from steel capital to innovation center, PIT has evolved from moving passengers to creating opportunity for our entire region. Today, the vision and hard work of hundreds of Western Pennsylvanians, our industry partners and the broader aviation community are embodied in a beautiful new terminal that reflects who we are and what we value.
The terminal’s design reflects Pittsburgh, echoing the rolling hills we know by heart. Local materials honor the craftspeople whose hands shape this region. Every feature and detail exists because we asked: What would best serve the people of this region? And how should Pittsburgh present our new front door to visitors?
This $1.7 billion transformation—funded with zero state or local tax dollars—put people to work and created over 14,000 jobs. Initiatives like PIT2Work connect people to opportunities they may never have imagined.
At Neighborhood 91, the world’s first end-to-end additive manufacturing campus, we’re connecting entrepreneurs and makers to global markets. Our microgrid—first to fully power an airport—uses local energy resources to show resilience, sustainability and progress go hand in hand.
We’re expanding opportunity. Sixty-two nonstop destinations connect people to possibility.
The new terminal does more than help Pittsburghers take off; it welcomes us home.
We believe airports create the greatest impact when they’re rooted in the communities
they serve. When they reflect local character while creating economic opportunity.
When they honor the past while building the future.
That’s what we’ve built—for Pittsburgh and with Pittsburgh. As we gather
for the holidays, I’m particularly grateful for the dedication and
partnership of our community. This terminal belongs to us all.
It was shaped by our spirit. Built with our hands.
And speaks to our hearts. It exists to serve our future.
