Pittsburgh Airport Map
The Pittsburgh Airport map below shows the full layout of Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT/KPIT) after its landmark $1.7 billion transformation. On November 18, 2025, PIT opened its brand-new Landside Terminal — the airport’s first entirely new terminal since 1992. The old underground people mover was permanently decommissioned on opening night, replaced by the Skybridge, a covered pedestrian walkway connecting the new terminal directly to the renovated Airside Terminal and its four concourses.
PIT serves approximately 10 million passengers annually from its base 20 miles west of downtown Pittsburgh, with 15+ carriers flying to destinations across the US and Europe. Use the Pittsburgh Airport map to understand the new layout before you travel.

Pittsburgh Airport Location Map
Pittsburgh International Airport is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of downtown Pittsburgh in Findlay Township (partly Moon Township), Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. It is accessed via Airport Boulevard connecting to Interstate 376 (Parkway West). The route through the Fort Pitt Tunnels and I-376 West is the main artery from downtown. Allow 25–30 minutes by car from the city centre in normal traffic.
Pittsburgh Airport’s New Landside Terminal (2025)
The centerpiece of Pittsburgh Airport’s $1.7 billion transformation is the brand-new three-level, 811,000 sq ft Landside Terminal designed by Gensler + HDR. It opened on November 18, 2025, replacing a 1992 facility that was built for a US Airways hub model long since gone. Today, 95% of PIT travelers begin or end their journeys in Pittsburgh, and the new terminal is sized and designed specifically for that origin-and-destination model. Its vaulted wood-tone ceilings, tree-like support columns and sweeping natural light create an unmistakably Pittsburgh sense of place.
New Landside Terminal Levels
Pittsburgh Airport Security Checkpoint
Pittsburgh Airport now has a single consolidated security checkpoint on Level 3 of the new Landside Terminal. The old landside checkpoint is permanently closed. The new checkpoint features 12 TSA lanes with automated bin return technology, speeding up the screening process. TSA PreCheck is available. The checkpoint feeds directly into the Skybridge for access to all four concourses.
The Skybridge — From Security to Gates
Pittsburgh Airport Concourse A
Concourse A is the northeast arm of PIT’s X-shaped Airside Terminal, primarily serving Southwest Airlines and other domestic carriers. It is one of the longest concourses with moving walkways along its length. Note that ongoing reconfiguration of Concourses A and B may affect gate assignments in 2026 — confirm your gate in your airline’s app.
Southwest is PIT’s largest carrier and operates heavily from Concourse A. Moving walkways ease the longer walks to far-end gates. Primanti Bros., the legendary Pittsburgh sandwich institution, is a must-try here.
Pittsburgh Airport Concourse B
Concourse B is the southwest arm of the Airside Terminal, serving American Airlines and allied carriers. It mirrors Concourse A in length and is also equipped with moving walkways. The American Airlines Admirals Club is conveniently located on the mezzanine level (Level 4) above the center core, accessible to passengers on any concourse post-security.
The Admirals Club is on Level 4 mezzanine above the center core — accessible from the main escalators after security. Day passes may be available; pre-book if interested. American’s Pittsburgh operation connects to its Charlotte (CLT) and Philadelphia (PHL) hubs.
Pittsburgh Airport Concourse C — International Gateway
Concourse C is PIT’s international gateway. All international arrivals (except those from preclearance cities) pass through Concourse C for US Customs and Border Protection processing. It houses The Club lounge (pay-per-use, also Priority Pass), a USO/Military lounge, and a children’s play area. From May 2026, Aer Lingus begins nonstop Pittsburgh–Dublin service, expanding the international offering alongside existing British Airways and Icelandair routes.
International arrivals exit through Concourse C’s Federal Inspection Station before boarding the center core to reach baggage claim. The Club lounge (near concourse entrance) accepts Priority Pass; the USO Lounge near C54 is free for active-duty military and their families.
Pittsburgh Airport Concourse D
Concourse D is the southeast arm of the Airside Terminal, anchored by Delta Air Lines and Frontier. It is generally the quietest of the four concourses and is closest to the new Landside Terminal (via the Skybridge entry point into the center core). The new terminal was built between the C and D spokes of the X, meaning D gates are among the closest post-security.
Delta’s Pittsburgh operation connects to its Atlanta (ATL), Detroit (DTW) and New York (JFK/LGA) hubs. Concourse D is compact compared to A and B, with shorter walks to most gates.
Walking Between Concourses at Pittsburgh Airport
All four concourses branch off the Airside Terminal’s central core in an X-shape. After clearing security and crossing the Skybridge, you arrive in the center core — from here, all four concourses are accessible on foot without re-clearing security. Moving walkways assist along the longer Concourse A and B arms. Walking time between far-end gates on opposite concourses (e.g., far end of A to far end of B) can be 15–20 minutes; build this into your connection time.
Connection Times at PIT
From the Skybridge entry into the center core: Concourses C and D (nearest spokes) are reachable in 3–5 minutes on foot. Concourses A and B (longer, far spokes) require 8–15 minutes depending on your specific gate. The minimum recommended connection time for same-day bookings at PIT is 45 minutes; give yourself 60 minutes or more for connections between far-end gates. You do not need to re-clear security when transferring between concourses.

Pittsburgh Airport Map — Arrivals
Arriving domestic passengers deplane at their concourse, walk through the center core, cross the Skybridge and descend to Level 2 (Arrivals) of the new Landside Terminal for baggage claim. The new baggage handling system has cut delivery times roughly in half compared to the old eight-mile belt system. Welcome Point — a public meeting area with seating, concessions and green terrace access — is on Level 2 for greeters and those meeting passengers.
International Arrivals
Passengers arriving on international flights land at Concourse C and pass through the Federal Inspection Station (US Customs and Border Protection) on the lower level of the Airside Terminal before proceeding via the center core and Skybridge to baggage claim on Level 2. The international arrivals facility was substantially upgraded as part of the 2025 renovation, with expanded capacity and a new layout designed to handle widebody aircraft. Global Entry enrollment is available on the baggage claim level of the new terminal.
Lounges at Pittsburgh Airport
PIT has three airport lounges, all located post-security in the Airside Terminal:
Dining & Shopping at Pittsburgh Airport
The new terminal brought 20 new or refreshed concessions combining local Pittsburgh flavors with national brands. Highlights include Mineo’s Pizza (the legendary Squirrel Hill pizzeria making its airport debut), Shake Shack, Primanti Bros., Café Conmigo (local coffee), Bad Egg, Beercode Bar & Kitchen and Champion City Sports. Most dining and retail is in the Airside Terminal’s center core and along the concourses; a 7-Eleven/Sunoco near baggage claim on the landside is the reliable 24-hour option. Free Wi-Fi and charging stations are available throughout.
Pittsburgh Airport Map — Departures
Departing passengers enter the new Landside Terminal at Level 3 (Departures) via the curbside drop-off road or the covered walkway from the parking garage. Check in at your airline’s counter or self-service kiosk, then proceed to the consolidated TSA checkpoint on Level 3. After screening, walk through the Skybridge into the Airside Terminal center core, then follow signs to your concourse (A, B, C or D). Gate assignments are shown on the departures boards throughout the terminal and on your airline’s app.
Recommended Arrival Times
Arrive at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights. Bag-drop desks typically close 45–60 minutes before departure. The new terminal’s consolidated security checkpoint is more efficient than the old setup, but mornings and holiday weekends can still create queues — plan accordingly.
Insider Tips for PIT in 2026
PIT’s new terminal is genuinely one of the most impressive recent openings in US aviation — arrive early enough to enjoy it. The Welcome Point on Level 2 lets non-travellers wait in comfort for arriving passengers (with concessions and terrace access). The 28X Airport Flyer bus’s $2.75 fare is one of the cheapest airport-to-downtown connections in any US city. PIT has its own on-site microgrid powered by natural gas drilled from beneath the airport and ~10,000 solar panels, making it the only major US airport that is fully energy self-sufficient — a useful pub-quiz fact. For connections, note that Concourses A and B have the longest walks; if tight on time, request a gate closer to the center core when booking.
