Mappedin Transforms the Future of Travel
In a groundbreaking development, Mappedin, a leader in indoor mapping solutions, has teamed up with Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) to enhance the travel experience as part of the airport's expansive $1.7 billion Terminal Modernization Program. This initiative comes at a time when the airport prepares to accommodate nearly 10 million passengers annually while reflecting the region's growth and the community's needs.
A New Era of Airport Experience
The newly designed terminal aims to streamline journey efficiency from the curb to the gate, ensuring passengers experience seamless navigation and connectivity throughout the redesigned spaces. According to Deepak Nayyar, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer at PIT, the terminal will resonate with Pittsburgh's essence, featuring family-style meet-and-greet areas, communal green spaces before security, and state-of-the-art technology to facilitate smoother travel experiences. Mappedin’s indoor mapping platform serves as a vital component of this modernization effort, providing a digital layer that integrates passengers with crucial data and operational insights.
