Hattiesburg Laurel Regional Airport (PIB)

Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport (PIB), also known as 'Airport City,' is a primary aviation hub serving the Pine Belt region of Mississippi, located in Moselle approximately 10 miles northeast of Hattiesburg. The airport operates from a single, modern two-story passenger terminal designed for high efficiency and rapid transit, situated directly off the I-59 corridor. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the region to major international hubs like Houston (IAH) via regular scheduled services by United Express. The terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential amenities across its levels, including a full-service restaurant, 'The Grille at PIB,' located in the landside area which serves Southern and American cuisine. Travelers have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building, a dedicated shop for travel essentials, and modernized boarding areas equipped with charging stations. The facility is noted for its exceptionally short walking distances between check-in, security, and the baggage claim area, ensuring a streamlined experience for both business and leisure travelers. Ground transportation at PIB is well-supported by on-site car rental desks for major agencies like Avis and Hertz, which provide vehicle delivery and pickup directly at the terminal. Official taxi services and pre-arranged shuttles are readily available outside the arrivals exit, providing a quick 15 to 20-minute link to the city centers of Hattiesburg and Laurel. A unique and highly convenient feature of the airport is its spacious public parking lot situated immediately adjacent to the terminal, which offers completely free short-term and long-term parking for all visitors.
