History

The early years

The city received a $200,000 grant from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1930 to establish Charlotte's first municipal airport. The Works Progress Administration (renamed in 1939 the Work Projects Administration; WPA) was the largest New Deal agency employing millions of people

In 1936, the Charlotte Municipal Airport opened and was operated by the City of Charlotte. Eastern Air Lines began its first regularly scheduled passenger service in 1937. Eastern Air Lines was a major United States Airline that existed from the late 1920s until 1991 The original passenger terminal is still at the airport, and is now the Carolinas Aviation Museum. The United States Army Air Forces took control of the airport and established Morris Field Air Base in 1941. The United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF) was the military aviation arm of the United States of America during and immediately after World War II.

1950 to mid-1960s: into the jet age

In 1950, Eastern Airlines began regularly scheduled passenger service from CLT. Eastern Air Lines was a major United States Airline that existed from the late 1920s until 1991 In 1954, a 70,000 square foot passenger terminal opened, and the airport was renamed Douglas Municipal Airport in honor of former Charlotte Mayor Ben Elbert Douglas, Sr. The terminal had two floors, although passenger operations were confined to the ground floor. Ben Elbert Douglas Sr (1894-1981 was the mayor of Charlotte North Carolina from 1935 to 1941 Ticketing and baggage claim were located on each side of an open space which bisected the building from north to south, and a mezzanine restaurant and various airline offices overlooked this open space. Delta Air Lines began regularly scheduled passenger service in 1956. Delta Air Lines Inc ( is a United States Airline based and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

Eastern Air Lines began the region's first regularly scheduled jet service in 1962. Eastern used the west pier, Piedmont and Delta the center pier, and United and Southern used the east pier. Piedmont Airlines is a Regional airline operating for US Airways Express.

Late 1960s to 1978: growth pre-deregulation

A major renovation project in the late 1960s expanded the facility considerably. Eastern opened a 'unit terminal' in 1967, replacing the old west pier. This new facility had 8 dedicated gates for Eastern, each with its own departure lounge, as well as a snack bar and separate baggage claim space. Eastern passengers continued to check in at the main terminal.

Two years later in 1969, a new enclosed concourse was built parallel to the center pier. When it was completed, Piedmont, Eastern and Delta moved in and the old center pier was demolished. The new concourse also had separate departure lounges, as well as restrooms and an enlarged baggage claim area. United's flights continued to the use the east pier, although an enclosed holdroom was added for waiting passengers.

In 1973, Eastern added two more gates to the end of its west concourse.

1978 to 1989: Becoming a major hub

After airline deregulation in 1978, passenger numbers at the terminal nearly doubled between 1978 and 1980, and a new 10,000-foot parallel runway and control tower were opened in 1979 to handle the increased passenger loads. Airline deregulation is the process of removing entry and price restrictions on airlines affecting in particular the carriers permitted to serve specific routes The airport's master plan also called for construction of a new terminal across the runway from the existing site. Ground for this expansion was broken in 1979.

In 1979, Piedmont Airlines dedicated Charlotte as the hub for its rapidly expanding route network. Piedmont Airlines was a regional airline based in Winston-Salem North Carolina; the airline began operations in 1948 The hub-and-spoke distribution paradigm (or model or network) is a system of connections arranged like a chariot wheel in which all traffic moves along To accommodate the booming growth of the facility, a new 325,000-square-foot passenger terminal opened in 1982, and the airport was renamed Charlotte Douglas International Airport. In 1987, Piedmont inaugurated non-stop service to London. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom.

In the mid-1980s, the old terminal site was converted in to a cargo center, and the central concourse and Eastern 'unit terminal' were removed to make way for larger, more modern cargo buildings. The original main building still stands, however, and is used for office space. The old control tower was removed in the late 1990s.

In 1989, Piedmont was acquired via merger by US Air. US Airways Inc is the fifth largest Airline in the United States.

1990 to 2004: the influence of US Airways

In 1990, a new 80,000 square-foot international and commuter concourse opened, and in 1991 further expansion of the terminal buildings continued, reflective of USAir's dominating presence at the airport.

In 1992, Lufthansa began Boeing 747 service to Germany; however, this service was discontinued shortly thereafter. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout In 1994, British Airways began service to London via a "global alliance" with USAir. British Airways plc ( is the national Airline and Flag carrier of the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Europe This has since been discontinued, as the airlines have chosen opposite alliances. Lufthansa did restart service to Charlotte and now operates flights between Charlotte and Munich, Germany.

When USAir became US Airways in 1996, Charlotte remained its largest hub in terms of passenger traffic, and in 1999, plans were announced for the construction of a regional carrier concourse (present-day Concourse E) and for the expansion of Concourses A and D.

In 2002, the new 26-gate Concourse E opened,^[5] and US Airways also began non-stop service to Belize, Freeport, Providenciales, Punta Cana, and St. Croix. Belize City is the largest city of the Central American nation Belize. Freeport is a city and Free trade zone on the island of Grand Bahama, located approximately 100 mi (160 km east-northeast of Fort Lauderdale, Providenciales, nicknamed " Provo " is an island in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Punta Cana, named after a local cape is a region in the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic.

In 2003, the main ticketing hall was expanded to the east, providing 13 additional ticketing counters and a new security checkpoint; and Concourse D was expanded by an additional 9 gates. That year, US Airways began service to Costa Rica, Mexico City, and St. Kitts. San José ( Spanish: San José; ˌsɑːn hɒˈsɛː is the capital and largest city of Costa Rica, and is at the heart of the sprawling Gran Area Metropolitana Mexico City (in Spanish: Ciudad de México, México DF, México or simply Méjico) is the Capital city of Mexico Saint Kitts (also known more formally as Saint Christopher Island ( Saint-Christophe in French) is an Island in the West Indies Lufthansa also returned to the airport, this time providing service to Munich. Munich (München; Minga is the capital city of Bavaria, Germany.

2005 and beyond

Following US Airways' acquisition by America West Airlines (the airline will retain the US Airways name), Charlotte (CLT) remains the primary domestic hub for the airline. America West Airlines was one of the United States ' ten major Airlines The airline was based in Phoenix Arizona, and is now a part of US Airways Group However, the vast majority of US Airways' international routes are served out of the airline's second-largest hub, Philadelphia. In April 2007, Charlotte was the fastest growing airport in the US. Fastest Growing. CLT went on to surpass its sister hub in Philadelphia as one of the 30 busiest airports in the world in terms of passenger traffic. A new terminal to the northwest of the center of the airport will be built in the near future, possibly as a Caribbean/Latin America international terminal. As a result, rental car agencies will reportedly be placed in the bottom level of the closer 2 parking decks. Concourse E is currently being expanded to include a wing that can hold 8-12 gates. The US Department of Transportation have tentatively awarded US Airways for a Charlotte-Philadelphia-Beijing route to begin in March 2009. US Airways Inc is the fifth largest Airline in the United States. The service will not operate with the same plane, however, with passengers having to switch to different aircraft when arriving in Philadelphia.

Construction

Runway Construction - Construction of CLT's third parallel runway began in the spring of 2007. At 9,000 feet long, the new "third parallel" will allow three independent approaches for arrivals, automatically increasing air service by 33 percent.

Construction will involve two phases. The first phase, beginning in March, will include grading and drainage. The second phase is scheduled to begin in Spring 2009. It will include paving and lighting of the runway.

The anticipated runway completion date is January 2010. The project is funded through federal grants, passenger facility charges and bond funds. The Runway construction also has planned to reroute several roads around the airport. Within these plans, a new interchange at the I-485 Outerbelt is planned to connect the airport and another relocated road.

Parking

The parking options at Charlotte Douglas have drastically improved in recent years. There have been two new Daily Parking decks erected since 2005, providing almost 6,000 additional parking spaces for the traveling public. There are also two Long Term lots, with a combined almost 6,500 spaces. There is also the Remote lot, which is between the Daily and Long Term lots, with about 1,500 spaces. Charlotte's close-in surface and deck parking exits are serviced by part-time personnel from booths apparently dating to the 1982 terminal expansion. The Daily parking rates at CLT are some of the lowest in the nation, with Long Term & Remote parking costing $3 per day, Daily Parking $6, and Hourly $16. Staff audits every parking area each evening to upload license plate data to ensure each vehicle is assessed the correct parking fee when it exits. The airport has recently aligned with a customer service program called SmartPark, which allows customers to call a hotline 24 hours a day to receive updates on parking conditions.

Inbound and outbound directional/informational signs are poorly positioned creating problems for first time arrivals. There is a free cell-phone parking area for people to wait for inbound passengers.
