Flyer's Guide to Pittsburgh International Airport - The Parking Spot

 ABOUT PIT 

Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is a civil–military international airport, originally opened in 1952 to replace Allegheny County Airport. Though the county airport was closer to the Pittsburgh city limits, it was too small to handle the growing air passenger traffic.

Since 2015, the airport successfully attracted new, low-cost carriers, including Allegiant Air, Frontier Airlines, and Spirit Airlines, along with international carriers Condor and British Airways.
