MIAMI – Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), after a pandemic-imposed delay, will go ahead with its Terminal Modernization Program (TMP) project.
Estimated to cost around US$1.1bn, the project’s stated goal is to modernize outdated hub facilities, reduce long-term costs, and assist with the region’s economic recovery. The project seeks a completion date at the end of 2024, with the terminal opening in 2025.
Christina Cassotis, CEO of the Allegheny County Airport Authority, is optimistic about the project despite the challenges of COVID-19. Cassotis tweeted on February 3, “It will be the first airport terminal designed and constructed for the realities of post-pandemic travel.”
