With holiday traffic nearing and hope that more air traffic controllers are about to return to work, Pittsburgh International Airport leaders have decided that travelers are ready for a treat. The airport has finally set a date for the grand opening of its new terminal in Findlay Township, marking a new era for those visiting Pittsburgh for events such as next April’s NFL draft. The opening has been set for Nov. 18.

It will be a new experience for those used to using the rail trams between the old landside and airside terminals for the last three decades.

The project also adds 6,000 additional parking spaces at the airport.
