Pittsburgh ARS

Pittsburgh, PA, United States

The 911th Airlift Wing passenger terminal at Pittsburgh Air Reserve Station posts Space-A flights beside Pittsburgh International Airport. Official Air Force Reserve pages identify the station as a National Disaster Medical System hub for moving patients in a disaster and assign the wing C-17 Globemaster III airlift. This is an Air Force Reserve passenger function, not an AMC gateway, and it is distinct from Youngstown ARS.

Terminal FAQ

Last verified 27 August 2026. Hours, fees, and presence rules change. Confirm with this terminal’s official page before you travel. Pop’s is unofficial.

Where is the passenger terminal?

Pittsburgh ARS / PIT, Moon Township, PA. Official Key Buildings:

  • B130 — Passenger Processing Location
  • B320 — Space Available Sign-up
  • B300 — Perksburgh Café (hours 0630–1300)

Street number: not on the Space-A page (workbook matches). GPS B130 / B320 on Pittsburgh ARS, not a PIT commercial-terminal pin. No map URL (buildings named; Long Term Parking form is not a base map).

Unofficial “building 213” writeups are not used.

How do I get on base / which gate should I use?

The Space-A page does not name a passenger gate. It does print Visitor Center Hours only (Mon–Fri 0730–1500) for transportation passes. Not all transportation is permitted on base. There is no base shuttle.

Official base directory: Security Forces 412-474-8250; Visitors Center 412-474-8567. Gate names/24-7 clocks are not on the Space-A HTML. CAC / DoD ID holders use an open vehicle-access gate. Weekend/holiday visitors: do not invent a VCC clock beyond Mon–Fri 0730–1500 for passes. Confirm with Visitors Center / Passenger Service Center 412-474-8114 before you drive.

What are hours, phone, DSN, and email?

Hours: Terminal staffing hours are not stated on the Space-Available page. Workbook / FIN match. Do not invent a 0700–1530 counter. Perksburgh Café 0630–1300 is the café clock, not the PAX desk.

Phones — labels differ; do not silently merge 7722 and 8114:

| Label | Number | Where printed | |---|---|---| | Flight Schedule Recording | 412-474-7722 | Official Space-A page; APPROVED commercial / recording | | Passenger Service Center (questions about travel) | 412-474-8114 | Official Space-A page (also the “Call … and we will be happy to assist you” line) | | AMC directory commercial | (412) 474-7722/7721 | Live AMC row — 7721 is AMC-only; not on the Space-A recording line | | Information Tickets & Travel | 412-474-8245 | Official Space-A page | | TMO Passenger Travel | 412-474-8198 | Official Space-A page | | Space-A Signup Fax | 412-474-8044 | Official Space-A page | | AMC / page DSN | (312) 277-7722/7721 | Live AMC row — do not publish (312) as commercial |

Dial 412. Page recording is 7722. 7721 stays an AMC extra, not the labeled recording.

Email (official page / AMC / workbook agree): 911aw.spacea.mbx@us.af.mil

Pittsburgh is AFRC, listed under AMC ANG & Reserve. AMC webpage cell points at https://www.pittsburgh.afrc.af.mil/About-Us/Space-A-Program/ (About-Us mission page). SOP is Space-Available/. Official Space-A URL wins.**

CMS leftover on the Space-A page — not Pittsburgh ITT: the same HTML still exposes Travis AFB / JBPHH MWR “Tickets, Tours and More” promo lines. Ignore those. Local ITT is 412-474-8245.
