Pittsburgh International Airport this week opened its latest terrace, allowing travelers post-security access to outdoor space. The new space is one of four outdoor terraces (two landside; two airside) in PIT’s new terminal.
Located post-security, across from the Dick’s Sporting Goods display near the beginning of Concourse D, the new North Airside terrace features built-in bench seating, tables and chairs, native plantings and a pet relief area. The space offers travelers a quiet, outdoor place to relax before or between flights. The latest terrace is more than 1,000 square feet with the flexibility to expand.
“We are incredibly proud to open our latest outdoor terrace, one that provides access to the outdoors post-security. These terraces are the most beautiful outdoor spaces at a U.S. airport and have been carefully designed to allow for a Pittsburgh, western Pennsylvania, Allegheny County experience for travelers, as well as staff, to encounter the beauty of this area, and really, to just to feel better,” Allegheny County Airport Authority CEO Christina Cassotis said. “Thanks to our community partners, including local foundations who helped make this possible.”
The opening of the first airside terrace comes less than three months after the opening of the larger landside UPMC Terrace. The remaining two terraces will open in 2027. The terraces were made possible through financial support by the Richard King Mellon Foundation and the Hillman Foundation.
