Pittsburgh International Airport officially cut the ribbon on its new terminal on October 11, 2025, marking a significant transition in the airport's identity and operations.
Over 300 guests from airlines, local government, labor, and community organizations gathered for the ceremony, which was followed by a Community Open House that attracted more than 10,000 registered visitors.
Construction began in 2021 after years of planning and debate, with a total cost of US$1.7 billion, financed primarily by the airport's airline partners without using taxpayer dollars.
This new terminal is central to PIT's shift from being primarily a hub to becoming an origin & destination (O&D) airport.
No taxpayer dollars were used in construction.
