Fasten your seat belts, because Chattanooga Airport’s (CHA) largest terminal expansion in more than 30 years is now open.

With 36,000+ sqft of renovations in total, the airport’s existing terminal has been thoroughly elevated. Think: More gates, more convenience, more ways to get through security, and less waiting.

CHA’s $28 million makeover includes:

  • A terminal expansion of 26,000 sqft
  • A brand new concourse
  • A larger TSA security screening area with two state-of-the-art CT scanners + a liquid disposal area
  • Two new gates (with jet bridges), operated by Delta Air Lines
  • A full-service restaurant and bar by Tailwind Concessions (post-security) with seating for 70 in the dining area + 24 at the bar
  • A new business center
  • New furniture
  • More restrooms, a nursing room, and a dedicated pet relief area
  • An enhanced gift shop
  • Easy + affordable parking

Bonus: The existing concourse got a face-lift, too. Expect new flooring, refurbished with carpet and terrazzo.
