I would like to believe that increasing the TSA lines would make things move more efficiently, but, I doubt it. TSA in Pittsburgh is the worst. I have never experienced such issues at other airports.

@@cjcole921 Pittsburgh has always been an innovator. After steel, we thrived in health and education. After US Air, there is an Origin/Destination airport that brings people into the city instead of just into the airport for a connection. That brings revenue and jobs. That requires an airport that is state of the art and can handle the Passengers entering and exiting the city, not just sitting at the gate eating a pack of peanuts. When there were bees disturbing the planes, Pittsburgh supported an apiary on the property. This saved the bees and honey is sold to passengers at the airport. How sweet is that! Go Pittsburgh! Go PIT. If we build it, they will come. Pittsburghers are building the future for themselves and generations to come.

I'm old enough to remember when the original Pittsburgh Airport (built in the early 1950s) was still considered modern and cool. (Who else remembers the dancing lighted fountains in front?) I spent the 1980s in Florida, returned to the city in 1991when the building of the current terminal was well underway. It seemed huge and unnecessary to me at the time, but it needed to be large enough to be a hub for US Air. At least that was the reasoning at the time. A few years later US Air closed the Pittsburgh hub, making that terminal an instant albatross. It was way too large without being a hub for a major airline. This new design is (hopefully) a better fit for how our airport is actually used. I'm going into this as cautiously optimistic. Thanks for the video update.

Looking a forward to having a reason to visit the Airport other than just flying! Pittsburgh has been long over due for a "third space" like this. The outdoor terraces, greenery look incredible! I will certainly enjoy the NATECO design philosophy throughout the building. Now let's get a train to the airport so that we have more options for commuting.

Too bad the Landside Terminal couldn't be repurposed to a T rail hub (Light Rail Station) similar to the one in Mt Lebanon. The orientation of it makes sense if ever a western spur is to be added. Of course that would be contingent on commuter need which I'm not certain there is... just a random thought looking at pictures of it.

Anybody saying this is unnecessary or wasteful clearly doesn't travel through PIT very often. It's wildly outdated and inefficient. Although it is a ghost town at certain times of day, peak times are brutally congested. I agree that renovations could have solved some of those issues but I doubt anyone in the comments section of KZbin is qualified to make that decision. Additionally, no local or state or tax dollars have gone toward the project, so whatever, I'm excited to see how it turns out.

@@andrewknickerbocker314 The new terminal is 51 gates, and the old one was 75 so how is that larger? You may say that the landside terminal is larger, and it is by square footage, but the old landside terminal serviced 20 million passengers annually at one time now it only sees 9 million, so I think it is more than large enough. Yes, we may save these 9 million people a couple of minutes, and reduce maintenance by elimination the trains, but the trains could be serviced for a long time with the $1.1B cost of this project, and this is assuming it comes in on budget. When was the last time a government project came in on budget? I am not against change, I just want smart change and there are many better places to spend this money.

@willmain8747 i admit that I'm very biased. I work on the landslide at PIT, and the current layout is atrocious. Thr elevators are put right in the way of everything, so the lines get confusing, and people get lost not knowing if they need to be on floor 1, 2, or 3. My job is not supposed to be about navigation, yet I'm spending most of my day assisting passengers navigating the confusing layout. Granted, it isn't ACTUALLY confusing, but when people are traveling, their minds lose almost all their common sense. This new landslide terminal looks like it will fix a vast majority of the issues prevalent in the current landside

How is this possible when every time I am at the airport, especially at night, the place is dead; without a hub carrier I wonder who is paying for this as it seems unnecessary, but it definitely a nice improvement over the current doomy and gloomy brutalist design in place now. Basically, this gets rid of the trains?
@willmain8747 21 күн бұрын
@NigelTufnel612 It gets rid of the trains and reduces the airport from 75 gates to 51. As you said without a hub carrier this is completely unnecessary. Sadly, it will probably never get the chance to be a hub again as it will now likely be too small.

@@mae2759 It is dated., but the landside terminal is huge and could easily be reconfigured at a fraction of this cost.

This is being built so they no longer need the underground train to run to the terminals because the main terminal was too far away. Otherwise, the old one would have stayed where it was since it was not that old as it was a new hub built for US Airways back in the day. When it was merged with America West and American into one airline, Pittsburgh lost its hub status and did not need the shuttle underground with traffic greatly reduced as well as the number of gates were reduced and closed off as well. This greatly reduces Pittsburgh's cost of operation as well as the tax overhead the white elephant was causing. Pittsburgh like Cincinnati (from Delta) is not going to become a hub for any major airline anytime soon to pay for massive operational costs.

It will always be a second class airport but IMO not due to the lack of rail connection to downtown. It will be due to lack of being a major airline hub. When you don’t have enough direct flights to go where you need to go and you constantly need to connect to a hub you realize that Pittsburgh is a second or third tiered airport no matter how beautiful the terminal is. When you arrive in the US from overseas to let’s say JFK at around mid afternoon and your connection to PIT is at 8pm that’s when you realize you are heading to a second class destination… If it was a hub for an airline like US Airways in the past there would be multiple flights per day to major destinations!
