Pittsburgh International Airport is in the midst of a transformation aimed at meeting the needs of the Pittsburgh region through a $1.7 billion modernization comprised of a new terminal, new parking complex and extensive improvements to existing facilities. This project has generated billions of dollars for the region as well as 14,300 jobs.
