PITTSBURGH — The newly opened $1.7 billion terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport will have a near-immediate impact on the Allegheny County Airport Authority budget.
The 2026 operating budget is $154.1 million, less than the approved 2025 budget of $156.4 million. The actual amount expected to be spent by the authority in 2025 will be about $169 million, so the budget for 2026 is 9% less than that figure.
Allegheny County Airport Authority CEO Christina Cassotis told the board the reduction stemmed from not having to operate the 33-year-old landside terminal, which included a train between terminals and a cranky baggage system, among other things.
