Pittsburgh International Airport Guide
Pittsburgh International Airport sits 27 km (17 miles) west of downtown Pittsburgh in Findlay and Moon townships, Allegheny County, on 10,000 acres. The airport opened in 1952 and was extensively rebuilt in 1992 as a hub for US Airways before that carrier reduced operations. A $1.7 billion terminal replacement opened in November 2025, replacing the 1992 structure with a three-level landside building connected by a covered skybridge to the existing airside terminal.
The airside terminal is shaped like an X with four concourses and 61 gates. British Airways, Icelandair and Aer Lingus provide nonstop transatlantic service. The airport reached 9.95 million passengers in 2024, its highest total since 2006, with Southwest and American as the two largest carriers.
PIT operates four runways, three parallel east-west runways and one crosswind runway, and recorded 134,430 aircraft operations in its most recent annual figures. The airport became the first in the world to operate on its own microgrid in 2021, powered by natural gas and solar. It is owned and operated by the Allegheny County Airport Authority.
