About Pittsburgh International Airport

Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) serves Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania. It sits in Findlay and Moon townships, about 17 miles (27 km) west of downtown Pittsburgh, and handled about 9.8 million passengers in 2025.

Southwest is the largest airline, followed by American, Delta and others. International flights include British Airways to London Heathrow, Aer Lingus to Dublin, Icelandair to Reykjavík in season, Air Canada to Toronto, and seasonal flights to Cancún and Punta Cana.

A new landside terminal, with check-in, security and baggage claim, opened in November 2025. It connects by bridge to the X-shaped airside terminal, which has 61 gates across Concourses A, B, C and D; Concourse C handles international arrivals.

From the airport, travelers head downtown, to Oakland and the universities, and across western Pennsylvania. A Hyatt Regency sits on the airport grounds, linked to the new terminal by shuttle.

Arrival tips for Pittsburgh International Airport

At Pittsburgh, your plane arrives at one of the four airside concourses, A to D. Walk to the center of the airside terminal and cross the bridge to the new landside terminal, where baggage claim is.

If you arrive on an international flight, you clear US Customs and Border Protection at Concourse C, which handles international arrivals. If you are eligible, Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line.

Domestic passengers go straight across to baggage claim in the landside terminal.

Ground transportation leaves from the landside terminal. The Route 28X bus runs to downtown and Oakland, and rental cars are in the consolidated rental car center in the parking garage. If you are staying at the Hyatt Regency, take the free shuttle bus, since the hotel is no longer connected to the terminal on foot.
