Are Airport responsible for lost items?
-
Yes, Pittsburgh International Airport does take responsibility for items lost in public airport areas—but it depends on where you lost the item:
What PIT Airport (Allegheny County Airport Authority) Covers
Public areas — including terminals, parking garages, restrooms, shops, restaurants, baggage claim, shuttle areas, and security screening zones — are handled by the Airport Lost & Found via the Allegheny County Airport Authority. You can contact them at 412-472-3525, available 6 a.m.–9:30 p.m. Sun–Fri, and 6 a.m.–7 p.m. Sat
The Airport Authority retrieves items and holds them for up to 30 days. After that, unclaimed items are either donated, auctioned (annual auction includes even abandoned vehicles), or otherwise disposed of.
What the Airport Does Not Cover
Items lost on aircraft, at gates, ticket counters, or in airline lounges are handled by the airline, not the airport.
