PIT Airport (Pittsburgh International Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

FedEx Express, UPS Airlines and Amazon Air move the bulk of the freight at Pittsburgh International (IATA: PIT, ICAO: KPIT), which handled about 86,800 tonnes – 191 million pounds – of cargo and mail in 2025, roughly a fifth more than in 2016. Amazon Air serves PIT daily and occupies some 50,000 square feet of sorting space, while American Airlines Cargo, IAG Cargo/British Airways and Qatar Airways Cargo add belly capacity on passenger services. A new 80,000-square-foot facility known as Cargo 4 is under construction and is designed to handle freight from any aircraft type in service today. On the passenger side, a 1.7-billion-dollar terminal opened on 18 November 2025, with finishing work continuing into 2026. Ground connections are the airport's quiet strength: I-376 runs past the property, the Pennsylvania Turnpike is close by, and Norfolk Southern and CSX serve the region by rail. US Customs and Border Protection clears international arrivals at PIT, so imports need not route through another first point of entry. Typical traffic is general cargo, e-commerce parcels and industrial goods from the Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing belt. Shippers needing more freighter frequency usually look to Cleveland (CLE, about 210 km) or the dedicated cargo airport at Rickenbacker near Columbus (LCK, about 300 km).
