FINDLAY TWP. \u2015 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.<\/p>\n
The airport has finally set a date for the grand opening<\/a> of its new terminal in Findlay Township, marking a new era for those visiting Pittsburgh for events such as next April’s NFL draft<\/a>. The opening has been set for Nov. 18.<\/p>\n 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. Visitors will now use a pedestrian Skybridge that will echo what it’s like for motorists entering the city from the Fort Pitt Tunnel. The change includes faster security and baggage handling. The project also adds 6,000 additional parking spaces at the airport.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n More to enjoy: Voters chose these two Pittsburgh airport merchants among the nation’s best.<\/a><\/p>\n Pittsburgh airport construction started in 2021<\/p>\n Beaver County architect: Beaver County man reaches milestone in career with new Pittsburgh International terminal<\/a><\/p>\n This opening ends 10 years of planning and four years of construction on the project to upgrade the airport and better meet the needs of its airlines and passengers.
