As the travel restrictions ease, the industry is poised for a rebound. The first project post lockdown that will create a completely new terminal has commenced in Pittsburgh. The terminal puts a lot of focus on waste reduction and sustainability, with over 75% of generated trash slated for recycling and repurposing.
Key Takeaways:
