<p class="blog-para">CLT Airport currently has four runways, three of which are parallel runways oriented 18/36. A new runway is going to be built over the next few years, and it will be Charlotte&rsquo;s longest to date.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), a City of Charlotte department, is ranked the world&rsquo;s fifth busiest airport. In 2021, CLT welcomed more than 43 million passengers and handled nearly 520,000 arrivals and departures. CLT is served by eight major carriers, 15 regional carriers, and three foreign flag carriers with nonstop service to 182 destinations, including 36 international locations and three U.S. territories.</p>
<p class="blog-para">CLT averages 1,400 daily arrivals and departures and 4 million passengers travelling to, from, and through CLT a month.* As an enterprise fund, the airport is self-sustaining and does not collect tax dollars. Airport revenue funds all capital and operating costs.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The city received Works Progress Administration funding to establish Charlotte's first municipal airport; the airport was, at the time, the largest single WPA project in the United States, incorporating a terminal, a hangar, a beacon tower, and three runways.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In 1936, Charlotte Municipal Airport opened, operated by the City of Charlotte; Eastern Air Lines began scheduled passenger service in 1937. The original passenger terminal still exists and is used for offices and training rooms by various aviation-related organizations.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The United States Army Air Forces took control of the airport and established Charlotte Air Base in early 1941, which was renamed Morris Field soon after the attack on Pearl Harbour. The US military invested more than $5 million in airfield improvements by the time the facility was returned to the City of Charlotte in 1946. The airfield was used by the Third Air Force for anti-submarine patrols and training.</p>
