Airmall operator ‘disappointed’ in judge’s order siding with PIT amid ongoing lawsuit
Fraport Pittsburgh Inc., the airmall operator of Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), expressed its displeasure with a local judge’s order in a preliminary ruling that sided with the airport’s decision to evict the operator amid an ongoing lawsuit between the two parties.
In June, the Allegheny County Airport Authority (ACAA), PIT’s managing organization, prematurely terminated its multi-year contract with Fraport and evicted it from operating out of the region’s largest airport — a job Fraport has had as the exclusive lessee of commercial concession spaces at PIT since the 1990s and was set to hold until 2029 — amid alleged security concerns and a reported default on its lease, ACAA argued.
Fraport has denied these allegations in court and denied them again in a statement following the order from the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County Judge Christine Ward, who sided with the airport’s action of evicting Fraport while the lawsuit proceeds.
