World-class Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is ready to handle the traffic of large events. The airport occupies over 12,900 acres of land, making it the fourth-largest airport in the United States.
PIT's state-of-the-art Midfield Terminal opened in 1992. The new terminal allowed Pittsburgh International to become one of the top airports in terms of capacity in United States. At its peak, the airport served over 19 million annual passengers as a hub for US Airways.
Today, the airport sees about 9 million passengers per year, half of its proven capacity. Pittsburgh International is more than capable of handling massive traffic in 2020. A dedicated highway system allows airport travelers to reach Downtown Pittsburgh in under 25 minutes. An future extension of the city's light-rail system to the airport would provide quick and easy access into the Downtown area for those flying into Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh International Airport has also garnered numerous awards. JD Power and Associates named the airport as one of the top five airports in two recent customer satisfaction surveys. The Official Airline Guide Worldwide has listed PIT on its list of the world’s best airports for four straight years.
