Just came across some images of empty airport terminals and thought that they were really proof of the effect all of the financial issues we are facing have on the travel industry.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “This loss of passengers is creating a vicious economic spiral that is gripping airports across the country. At a time when airports have taken increasing roles in passenger comfort and care because of the service slide of airlines, today’s financial pressures are forcing major service reductions and financial strains… Pittsburgh International Airport has sealed off parts of its terminal. A huge terminal was built for 30 million passengers a year, but peaked at 21 million and now is down to eight million or nine million a year.”

Hopefully this will not continue for too long.
