On October 11, 2025, Pittsburgh International Airport officially cut the ribbon on its much-anticipated new terminal.
Over 300 guests from airlines, local government, labor, and community organizations gathered for the ceremony, which then gave way to a Community Open House that attracted more than 10,000 registered visitors.
Construction began in 2021 after years of planning and debate, with the total cost of the project escalating to US$1.7 billion, from earlier estimates closer to US$1.1 billion.
The airport’s airline partners are carrying the lion’s share of the financing, with no taxpayer dollars used in construction, marking a significant transition in the airport’s identity and operations as it shifts from being primarily a hub to becoming an origin & destination (O&D) airport.
