Paslay Group's PIT Executive Program Management team joined Allegheny County Airport Authority leaders and a host of construction and trade workers last month to sign an uppermost steel beam as the Authority's PITTransformed Terminal Modernization Program reaches its mid-way point.

The "rolling hills" of PIT's new landside terminal roof are taking shape, and the new connector bridge will soon reach the airside terminal. The new terminal is expected to open in 2025.

Paslay Group is providing EPM services to assist PIT in delivering the new terminal, parking facility, and airport roadway system. The project will mean a faster, more efficient experience for passengers and a more sustainable and adaptable environment for the airport. Learn more about PG EPM here.

America’s airports are front and center in the current, once-in-a-generation U.S. infrastructure rebuild. Summer 2023 air travel volumes are expected to surpass pre-pandemic levels, and aging airports are feeling the sting from passengers who crave a modern, enjoyable airport experience.

Clay Paslay, Paslay Group CEO and managing partner, developed Executive Program Management as a better, more efficient model for implementing complex airport capital improvement programs and introduced it to the industry in 2007. EPM expands airport owners' capacity to implement large programs, keeps owners engaged in the process, and helps them optimize schedules, costs and staffing.
